After abolition of the erstwhile Tribunal, the petition was transferred to the High Court.
Despite several opportunities granted to the respondents to file response/compliance affidavit, the same was not filed. The respondents were directed to appear in person on 10 September, 2020 in Court, in case of failure to file the compliance affidavit, but they neither filed the response nor appeared in person and moreover, nothing was on record on their behalf for exemption from presence in the Court.
The Court observed that in the aforesaid circumstances, it has no other option except to issue the bailable warrants for securing the presence of the respondents along with record, enabling the Court to proceed further.
The Court posted the matter for 6 October, 2020.
