High Court Fines Indore Municipal Officer 1 Lakh Rupees Over Invalid Order

The High Court in Indore has fined a municipal officer ₹1 lakh for issuing an order that relied on provisions which had already been annulled. The order in question was directed against Baafna Hospital, a local medical facility. The court specifically instructed that the fine be paid from the officer’s personal funds, rather than from the municipal treasury. This ruling highlights the judiciary’s insistence on strict compliance with current legal statutes. The officer’s identity was not disclosed in the court’s order, but the case serves as a reminder of the accountability expected from public officials.
