MITHILA — The Bombay High Court has raised concerns over the Nagpur Municipal Corporation's reported lack of awareness regarding the Supreme Court's widely known "Bulldozer judgement." During a recent court session, the High Court noted the sharp contrast between public knowledge and administrative awareness, remarking that while even a layman is familiar with the apex court's order, an Indian Administrative Service officer remained unaware of it.
Officials representing the Nagpur Municipal Corporation asserted that their non-compliance with the ruling stemmed directly from insufficient information and a missing circular. The civic administration cited the absence of these relevant circulars to explain why they had not implemented or followed the directives issued by the Supreme Court.
In light of the publicized nature of the top court's ruling, the Bombay High Court has mandated the submission of separate affidavits from all the involved officers. Each official must submit an individual filing before the court to formally detail their specific position regarding the matter.
