JAMMU, Aug 22: In a petition filed by Dr Indu Koul seeking direction to the State respondents not to promote Dr Shashi Gupta, presently Incharge Principal Government Medical College Jammu, Justice Ali Mohd Magray today granted last opportunity of one week to the respondents to file reply failing which Dr Shashi Gupta will cease to function as Principal Medical College Jammu.
When the petition came up for hearing, Senior Advocate U K Jalali appearing for the petitioner submitted that respondents have not implemented the order passed on June 3, 2013 whereby Court had directed respondents to file objections within six weeks with liberty to counsel for the petitioner to file rejoinder within two weeks.
He further submitted that direction was passed with the intention to finally settle the matter as arrangement made by the Government appointing Dr Shashi Gupta as Incharge Principal GMC Jammu was in violation of the rules and judgment of the Division Bench.
Advocate W S Nargal appearing for Dr Shashi Gupta submitted that due to unavoidable circumstances he could not file the objections in compliance of order passed by this Court.
After hearing both the sides in length, Justice Ali Mohd Magray granted last opportunity of one week to the respondents to file reply failing which Dr Shashi Gupta shall cease to function as Principal Medical College Jammu.
