Issuance of such order where it creates hopes and expectations, it results in total frustration and disappointment when it is not implemented and yields no benefits or fruits
High Court noted that in several cases, the orders/directives issued by Chief Minister Secretariat are not respected or implemented by the governmental functionaries
Perhaps such happens as the issuance of such orders or directives is considered by the subordinates a routine affair and exercise
Non-compliance of such directives and orders mocks the Authority passing such orders
Such non-compliance militates even against the declared, proclaimed and projected policy of good governance
High Court advised that before issuing such orders and directives the matter should be seriously dealt with, pondered and on due consideration only appropriate order or directive should be issued and it should then be seen that the same was carried out, honoured and implemented
Routine issuance of directives, which may be turned down by the subordinates, adversely reflects upon the authority of the Government itself.
