"God help this country", the Supreme Court observed on Monday Oct 01,2012, as it chided the government on the issue of providing accommodation in the national capital to members of tribunals.
TheSC also put a poser as to whether the retired judges who are on the tribunals are expected to "roam"
on the streets of Delhi.
A bench of justices RM Lodha and HL Gokhale issued notice to the
secretary, ministry of urban development to furnish information on the
number of vacant type 7 and 8 bungalows in the capital.
"You slip into deep slumber and you want court to wake you up? Why do
you compel us to do something which we refrain from doing? God help you
and God help this country," the bench observed, expressing its
displeasure at the failure of authorities to provide government
accommodation to the chairman and members of the Mahadayi Water Disputes
Tribunal constituted one year back.
