Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

Supreme Court : Seriously ?

 


 

Context :

Coronavirus | 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
