ALOK SHARMA
Vijay Pal Yadav S/o Shri Jagdish Prasad Yadav – Appellant
Versus
Jaipur City Transport Services Ltd. – Respondent


Advocates Appeared:
For the Petitioner:Mr. Akhil Simlote, Ms. Prakash Yadav and Mr. Bhupendera Sharma, Advocates
For the Respondent:Mr. Santosh Jaiman, Advocate

JUDGMENT :

Mr. Alok Sharma, J.

1. Is the obligation to do justice confined only to the Courts? It cannot and apparently is not and extends to all public functionarily. In the case of Ashok Kumar Yadav v. State of Haryana [(1985)4 SCC 417] the Apex Court observed that justice is not the function of the courts alone, it is also the duty of other state functionaries in every organ of the State who are expected to take decision on matters before them. However, as quite apparent from the facts of the case before this court, some officers of the welfare state, as the country avowedly is, are sadly innocent of their duty to be just in the discharge of their duties and oblivious to the observations of the Apex Court which have been adverted to in the fond hope of better dissemination of justice. They continue to be prone to mechanically dealing with matters which come up before them-pushing files only particularly when the matter before them relates to the less fortunate men and women without access to the levers of power.

2. The petitioner was selected as a driver of the Jaipur City Transport Services Limited (hereinafter 'JCTSL') after due process as reflected in the letter dated 04.09.2013
