The Rajasthan High Court has sent a contempt notice to officials of the Water Resources Department after a five‑month delay in appointing Romil Jain, the unmarried brother of a deceased assistant engineer, despite a prior order.
The Rajasthan High Court issued a contempt notice to officials of the Water Resources Department on Thursday, citing a failure to comply with a court order issued five months earlier.
The order directed the department to appoint Romil Jain, the unmarried brother of the late Assistant Engineer, within four weeks of the decision. The appointment was never made, prompting the court to take legal action.
The notice demands immediate compliance and warns of further penalties if the department does not act promptly. It also calls for a detailed explanation of the reasons behind the delay.
The department is expected to respond within a stipulated timeframe, after which the court may impose additional sanctions for contempt of court.
