Jaipur: The Rajasthan High Court on Friday dismissed a contempt notice against IAS officer Bhawani Singh Detha after he offered an unconditional apology for his failure to comply with a previous court order. The court had earlier summoned Detha, along with other officials, for not adhering to a judicial directive, which led to the contempt proceedings.

During the hearing, Justice Umashankar Vyas emphasized the importance of compliance with court orders and the responsibility of both the judiciary and administrative officers in serving the public. “I come from a middle-class family, so I understand the struggles of a common man. When court orders are not followed, people are forced to hire lawyers and file contempt petitions. Put yourself in their place and understand their difficulties. In the public interest, it is crucial to comply with court orders on time,” Justice Vyas remarked.

In response, Detha expressed his regret, saying, “I apologise to the court unconditionally and assure that all future court orders will be followed promptly.”

The Rajasthan High Court had initially summoned Bhawani Singh Detha, Shuchi Tyagi, and R.C. Meena, the former Joint Director of College Education, for failing to comply with a judicial directive. The court noted that while the order was executed within 18 days, it was only after strict judicial intervention. The court also remarked that senior officers bear a greater responsibility and that their inaction and repeated defiance of court orders were unfortunate. Although compliance was eventually undertaken, the court indicated that penalties could still be considered for prolonged non-compliance.

The case originated from a petition filed by Dr. D.C. Doodi, a lecturer at Government College, Sambhar Lake. Dr. Doodi, previously employed in Haryana, had been selected for a lecturer position in Rajasthan in 1998. However, the state’s education department failed to consider his previous service tenure under the Career Advancement Scheme, delaying his pay scale benefits by 1.5 years. After multiple judicial rulings in Dr. Doodi’s favor, the state government continued to delay compliance, leading to contempt proceedings.

During the hearing, Detha and Meena appeared in court, while Shuchi Tyagi submitted an application for absence. Following their apologies, the court withdrew the contempt notices against all three officers, resolving the matter.

This case serves as a strong reminder to government officials about the importance of adhering to court orders promptly, reinforcing the need for timely compliance in the public sector.
