Principal Secretary (Home) Dr J Suresh Babu; DGP Y Joykumar and CO of 7th MR S Manaobi today appeared before the Gauhati High Court after being summoned by the Court following a contempt petition filed over non-payment of compensation amounting to Rs 1 lakh to a deceased personnel of 7th MR.The trio appeared before the Court today at around 10:30 am after the Gauhati High Court, Imphal Bench, passed an order yesterday acting on a contempt petition filed by Asem ongbi Nganbi, the wife of the deceased.
They have assured the Court that the said amount would be paid in a week's time from today.
Following a writ petition filed by Asem Ongbi Nganbi whose husband Asem Chandramani, a Rifleman in 7th Manipur Rifles, was stabbed to death by one Aribam Bimol, another rifleman in the same 7th MR, inside their own barrack on June 17, 1999, the Gauhati High Court passed an order on April 27, 2012 directing the concerned authority of the State Government to pay a compensation of Rs 1 lakh.
Since the concerned authority failed to comply with the court order, Nganbi filed a contempt petition in the Gauhati High Court.
Accordingly, the Court passed an order on January 30 last directing the concerned officers to be present before the Court on February 28.After the concerned officers failed to turn up yesterday, the Court again issued a summon order for their appearance today with the warning that strict legal actions would be taken up against them if they failed this time.
