Supply 700 MT oxygen to Delhi every day, we mean business: SC tells Centre /
HINDU – 07 May
Extract :
Ø The Supreme Court on Friday underlined the obligation of the Centre to
comply with the order to supply 700 MT of oxygen to Delhi “every day”, saying
“we mean business”.
Ø “We
did not mean that you supply 700 MT on one day. We meant you do it every day
until we further examine the modalities. Please do not drive us to a situation where we have to be firm and
take the coercive way. It is 700 MT every day, every single day,”
Justice Chandrachud emphasised.
Ø
Mr. Mehta said he would convey the court’s observations to the authorities
concerned during the day.
=================================================
But
what is likely to happen, if the concerned Officers of the Central Government “
fail “ to implement the instructions / orders , of the Supreme Court ?
How
will the SC conclude whether those officers “ failed “ due to a,
Ø Lack of willingness / necessary efforts /
foresight / advance planning , OR
Ø Lack of resources at
their disposal , OR
Ø Lack of authority to
take necessary action , OR
Ø Lack of clarity on WHO precisely is to take
the necessary actions ?
In such a confusing situation where clarity
is totally lacking as to WHO
( which individual officer ) is responsible for
the failure , will SC conclude : THE BUCK STOPS AT THE TOP ?
And issue a “ Contempt of the Court “
notice to the Union Health Minister / Union Industries Minister / PM ?
I hope the Supreme Court is aware of the Management
Mantra :
“ Never give a threat
unless you have a resolve and the necessary power to implement it “
Because, if you keep issuing EMPTY THREATS,
again and again, but never act upon any, then soon, people will stop taking you
seriously !
For example :
Ø Legislation
or No legislation ! ………………………………………[ 06 Nov 2019 ]
Ø Smog
: Supreme Court flays Govt inaction ; summons 4 Chief Secretaries
Extract :
Ø We have to make government responsible for this,” the bench said and asked, “Why can’t government machinery
stop stubble burning?”
Ø Coming down heavily on State governments, the top court said
that if they don’t bother about people, they have no right to be in power.
Ø We expect more from a democratic government of the country to
deal with issue of stubble burning and curb pollution,” the bench said, adding
that “it is a question of life and
death of crores of
people. We have to make
government responsible for this”
