The Jammu and Kashmir government has issued a formal warning to its administrative officers regarding persistent delays in responding to court directives. The administration has emphasized that timely compliance with judicial orders is a mandatory legal obligation for all government departments.
According to the directive, officers are required to ensure that replies to court notices and compliance reports are submitted within the stipulated timelines.
