The Allahabad High Court has said that Deputy Director of Consolidation (DDC), Jaunpur, in the 21st century, when Bharat is in process of ‘Soft Landing on Moon’, has passed a short impugned order in his own hand writing which is absolutely illegible.
The Court directed the Deputy Director of Consolidation, Jaunpur, to pass an order which shall be legible either in clear handwriting or by computer typing.
A Single Bench of Justice Saurabh Shyam Shamshery passed this order while hearing a petition filed by Shamsuddin.
The Court is amazed that Deputy Director of Consolidation, Jaunpur, in the 21st century, when Bharat is in process of ‘Soft Landing on Moon’, has passed a short impugned order in his own hand writing which is absolutely illegible, when there are other options available such as by using computer or voice typing, however, the Officer has not used it.
Counsels appearing for rival parties, even members of bar present in Court, are not able to correctly read out the entire order running into just 25 or 30 lines, the Court noted.
“The aforesaid exercise shall be done within a period of three weeks and a certified copy thereof shall be provided to petitioner thereafter free of cost, which shall be placed before the Court.
Put up this petition after three weeks. A copy of the order shall be sent to the Consolidation Commissioner, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh as well as to Deputy Director of Consolidation, Jaunpur”, the Court ordered.
