Delhi HC Threatens Contempt of Court In Non-Recruitment at Indira Gandhi Hospital
The court said, "In case of non-compliance of our orders dated 1 February 2022 by the next date, Principal Secretary (AR Department) shall remain present in the Court.";
New Delhi: Following Delhi government's failure to make expeditious appointments at the Indira Gandhi Super Speciality Hospital in Dwarka as per the previous direction of the Delhi High court, the latter warned the officials of the Administrative Reforms Department of the Delhi government that they would initiate contempt proceedings against them.
The observation was made by a two-judge bench of acting Chief Justice Vipin Sanghi and Justice Navin Chawla, where they said that there is a prima facie reason to proceed with contempt proceedings against the defaulting officers, as per a media report in the Live Law. The court gave the concerned officers another deadline within the next two weeks to comply with the order dated originally at February 1, 2022, and file a status report subsequently.

Initially, the Delhi government had made a requisition for 3,059 posts but only 1,204 posts were approved. Following that, a fresh proposal was submitted for approval for additional 1855 posts, but the same was rejected by the Administrative Reforms Department.
The Delhi high court had instructed the department during the February 1 order, to consider the proposal for the creation of additional posts, to ensure full staffing in the super specialty hospital so that it can function properly.
