Babudom of bureacracy a symbol of colonial mindset: Delhi High Court berates officials for not deciding farmer’s application for 35 years

Justice Singh noted that in its order of August 2, 2022 clear directions were passed to the authorities to dispose of Singh’s pending application within 15 days from the date of the order, failing which, the concerned officials of both the respondents were to remain present before the court.

The judge said that despite such clear directions, the authorities and its officials have failed to comply with the orders of the court, have not made any efforts to adjudicate the application, not filed any application for extension of time or to seek exemption from personal appearance.

“This clearly depicts the high-headedness of the officials namely – Vice-Chairman, DDA and Secretary, Land & Building Department,” the court said.
