ORDER

Ms. Harvinder Kaur Oberoi:

The present Contempt Petition has been filed by the petitioner alleging wilful and deliberate non-compliance of the order dated 28.05.2025 passed by this Tribunal in OA No. 1794/2024.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner had joined the Medical Stores Organisation under DGHS in 1982 and, despite being eligible for in-situ promotions, was denied the same on account of departmental and criminal proceedings initiated against him. The petitioner was ultimately fully exonerated in all the departmental proceedings, and the criminal proceedings were also dropped. He retired from service on attaining the age of superannuation on 31.07.2010.

It is submitted that, pursuant to the directions of this Tribunal, the petitioner was subsequently granted retrospective in- situ promotion to the post of Assistant Director General w.e.f. 01.10.2000. Thereafter, the petitioner filed OA No. 1794/2024 seeking, inter alia, in-situ promotion to the post of Deputy Director General. The said OA was allowed vide order dated 28.05.2025, whereby the respondents were specifically directed to send the proposal for the petitioner’s promotion to DDG to the UPSC, based on the previous readily available ACRs, within six weeks from the date of receipt of the certified copy of the order. The UPSC was thereafter directed to consider and grant the petitioner in-situ promotion to the post of DDG as per rules and law.

Learned counsel submits that the certified copy of the aforesaid order was duly served upon the respondents on 12.06.2025, but despite expiry of the stipulated period of six weeks, the respondents have failed to comply with the directions of this Tribunal. Neither has the proposal been forwarded to the UPSC within the prescribed period nor has the petitioner been informed of any compliance. No extension of time was sought by the respondents, and the order dated 28.05.2025 has neither been stayed nor set aside by any superior court.

It is therefore submitted that the continued inaction on the part of the respondents is wilful, deliberate and contumacious and amounts to disobedience of the binding directions of this Tribunal. Learned counsel further submits that the petitioner, being more than 75 years of age, ought not to be made to suffer any further on account of such inaction. Accordingly, it is prayed that appropriate proceedings be initiated against the respondents for non-compliance of the order dated 28.05.2025 and necessary directions be issued to ensure its immediate compliance.

Learned counsel for the respondents submits that the respondents have the highest
