Attendance of person able to answer questions relating to suit against Government
Full Text
The Court may also, in any case in which the Government pleader is not accompanied by any person on the part of the Government who may be able to answer any material questions relating to the suit, direct the attendance of such a person.
Plain English Summary
Empowers the court to compel the personal attendance of an authorized departmental officer when the Government Pleader is uninformed and unaccompanied by someone conversant with the material facts of the case.
Key Legal Elements
- Trigger: Government Pleader unable to answer material questions regarding files, maps, or sanctions.
- Judicial Power: Directing personal attendance of the responsible departmental official.
- Purpose: Clarification of facts to prevent unnecessary adjournments.
Practical Note
Countering Uninformed Government Adjournments: When the Government Pleader repeatedly seeks time stating 'instructions not received from the department', apply to the court under Rule 6 to issue a direct order summoning the Executive Engineer, Tehsildar, or Officer-in-Charge along with the original record on the next date of hearing.
