JAMMU, Sept 11: Division Bench of State High Court comprising Justice Virender Singh and Justice Muzaffar Hussain Attar today directed the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Economic Reconstruction Agency (ERA) to appear in person before the Court on next date of hearing.

On August 3, 2012, the Division Bench had directed State respondents to file their response within four weeks. However, there was no compliance to the directives leading to Division Bench directing the CEO of ERA to appear in person on next date of hearing. The DB also directed respondents to file response.
