JAMMU, May 3: State High Court has directed the State Government to consider the petitioners (seven Girdawars) for looking after the work of Naib Tehsildars.
The directions were passed in a petition filed by 7 Girdawars challenging the orders of Government whereby 13 Girdwaras junior to the petitioners were directed to look-after the work of Naib Tehsildars. They submitted that in such an arrangement their seniority is getting offended.
After hearing Senior Advocate Sunil Sethi with Advocate Veenu Gupta for the petitioners whereas Senior Advocate M K Bhardwaj with Advocates Ajay Abrol, MA Bhat, SS Ahmed and Ashfaq Ahmed Khan for the private respondents and caveators, Justice Mohd Yaqoob Mir discharged the caveats and issued notice to the respondents for objections if any.
“The pendency of the writ petitions should not stand in the way of the official respondents more particularly Financial Commissioner Revenue considering the cases of the petitioners and asking them to look after the work of Naib-Tehsildars on identical lines”, the High Court said.
