The Registrar of Armed Force Tribunal has been summoned by\u00a0The Delhi High Court for his failure to comply with its earlier order for fresh adjudication of a naval officer’s plea who was awarded punishment of displeasure for alleged negligence on duty on board a submarine in 2002.
\nIssuing show-cause notices to the Principal Registrar and also a section officer of the AFT, a bench of justices S Ravindra Bhat and S K Mishra directed them to appear in person on April 1 before it and explain the reasons for non compliance of November 23, 2012 order.<\/p>\n
The bench passed the order while hearing a plea of Lieutenant Commander Deepak Kanathey, filed through counsel Sukhjinder Singh, alleging that the AFT Registrar instead of complying with the order for re-hearing the case asked his counsel to get it corrected before the high court.<\/p>\n
According to the navy officer’s plea, his counsel Singh, in his communication on December 17, 2012, had requested the AFT registrar to list the petitioner’s case (T.A.178\/2010) for re-hearing following high court’s November 23, 2012 order.<\/p>\n
However, the Registrar in his letter on February 7,2013 has asked his counsel to get this court’s order(dated 23\/12\/2012) corrected as the reference of his case (R.P. No 645\/2012), was absent in that order.<\/p>\n
The Navy officer was awarded with the punishment of ‘displeasure’ for alleged negligence in performing his duty as Executive Officer on board Indian Navy submarine INS Sindhukesari in 2002.<\/p>\n
The officer was dealing with torpedos on board the Russian origin Kilo Class submarine.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
