A Division Bench of Chief Justice S Manikumar and Justice Shaji P Chaly directed the competent authorities to ensure that sufficient funds are allocated so that the appointments of veterinary assistant surgeons, para veterinary staff and driver-cum-Aatenders can be done within a period of three weeks.
“Having regard to the plight of the birds and animals without getting any treatment as evidenced from Exhibits P3, P4 and P5 office orders and the representations dated 30.09.2021, 09.10.2021 and 06.10.2021 submitted by the petitioner, we direct the Director (Animal Husbandry) to initiate and finalise the appointment of the above said surgeons and staff on contract basis under the (Livestock Health And Disease Control) scheme by utilising the fund, within three weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Sufficient allocation and permission be granted by the competent authority, if not done earlier,” the Court said.
