Jharkhand Officer Fined 5000 for Defying Supreme C

The Jharkhand High Court has penalized a local official for not following a Supreme Court order. The Circle Officer (CO) of Hehal, Ranchi, was fined ₹5,000 for neglecting to issue a rent receipt. This happened even after the Supreme Court had ruled against him in a related case.

The order to fine the officer was issued by Justice Rajesh Shankar. The court has scheduled the next hearing for this case on February 21. This situation shows how important it is to respect court orders and what can happen if they are ignored.

The problem started with a disagreement that eventually reached the Supreme Court. Even though the Hehal CO lost the case there, he still did not provide the necessary rent receipt. Because of this, the High Court decided to take action.

The fine is a punishment for the officer’s failure to obey the Supreme Court’s decision and the High Court’s instructions. The court emphasized that ignoring a Supreme Court ruling is unacceptable. This case highlights how seriously the courts take making sure their orders are followed, even at the local level. Furthermore, the fine is intended to discourage others from disobeying court orders in the future.

This ruling from the Jharkhand High Court sends a clear message about responsibility and the importance of the law. Government officials are expected to follow the law, and they will be punished if they don’t. This case also reminds everyone about the duties of Circle Officers, especially when it comes to land and money matters.
