Court orders are in public domain. The legal wings / departments of GOI are very much in know of these judgements .All these internal wings and departments should function as cohesive depts and not in rigid independent domains ; and in public & National interests - without time delay of procedures and channels on matters of clear adjudicated matters ( judicial orders ) pronounced after eloborate presentation of matters and arguments by Army of legal professionals such as solicitor generals,attorneys at law at huge public costs.
ReplyDeleteConstitutional powers of judiciary are clear.
*** this is a simple comment and observation of an aged senior citizen in National interest which is of all citizens.
