HIGH COURT Chandigarh, May 30 In a letter written to
Haryana's Advocate-General, the state's Chief Secretary has written:
"After considering the inquiry report submitted by the inquiry
officer into the charges against Mr Bidlan, the state government has
recommended to the Government of India that a penalty of removal from
service may be imposed". After going through the letter, a
Division Bench of the Punjab and Haryana High Court, comprising Mr
Justice G.S. Singhvi and Ms Justice Bakhshish Kaur, directed Central
government's standing counsel to contact Government of India's
Ministry of Personnel for finding out the status of Mr Bidlan's case.
The Judges also asked counsel to inform the Court on the next date of
hearing if any decision had been taken on the state government's
recommendation. In their detailed order, the Judges directed
Haryana's Deputy Advocate General to contact the head of the plastic
surgery department in Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and
Research at Chandigarh to find out a date suitable for the examination
of the fire tragedy victims. She was further asked to enquire from the
HOD the approximate number of victims to be examined on that day so as
to avoid inconvenience to the other victims. The Judges also asked
the victims, who had not forwarded their bills pertaining to ancillary
expenses, to submit these to the Director, Health Services within two
months. "It is hoped that the government would sanction these
bills," the Judges observed. Earlier during the proceedings, the
DAG informed the Court that a board, under the head of the plastic
surgery department had been constituted, by the PGIMER Director for
examining the victims. She added that due to some communication gap
the victims were unable to appear before the board on the date fixed.
The case will now come up for further hearing on August 19. It may
be recalled that the Dabwali Fire Tragedy Victim's Association, in
their petition, had earlier sought directions for ordering
compensation to the families of the deceased, besides free treatment
for the injured, including plastic surgery. Several photographs of the
victims were also enclosed along with the petition.
