NAWAL KISHORE SINGH Vs. STATE OF JHARKHAND

JUDGEMENT

(1.) Vide order dated 14.08.2019, the learned Registrar General was directed to hold an enquiry and to submit a report fixing responsibility for delay in listing the case. The matter was listed on 14.02.2018 before the Joint Registrar and only one week time was granted to remove the defect, failing which it was directed to be listed before the learned Registrar General, but the case has been listed before the learned Registrar General after a long delay i.e. after 11 months on 16.01.2019 and thereafter the matter was listed before this Court on 14.08.2019.

(2.) Upon perusal of the enquiry report submitted by the learned Registrar General, High Court of Jharkhand, Ranchi, it appears that Sri. Ajay Shankar, Section Officer-cum-D.A. I/c has submitted in his explanation that vide order dated 14.02.2018 passed by the Lawazima Board of learned Joint Registrar (Judicial) in the instant case record of Cr. M.P. 3030/2017, defect no. 9(ii) & (v) was ignored and for removal of defect no. 8 one week time was granted, failing which the case may be placed before the learned Registrar General. The file was received on 15.02.2018 and upon checking of the case record, the defect no. 8 was still standing. The defect no. 8 was not removed by the learned counsel within one week i.e. by 21.02.2018 and therefore this case record remained a defective one.

(3.) After perusal of the report and explanation, this Court is not satisfied with the explanation furnished by the concerned person and accordingly directs the learned Registrar General to take up the matter on the administrative side and take appropriate steps in accordance with law, so that such mistakes are not repeated in future.
