“Already there is a considerable deficiency of working strength of Judicial Officers in Punjab as against the total sanctioned strength. The data clearly establishes the case in point that this strength of Judges of District Judiciary in Punjab would further be depleted and decision making system & conflicts of the parties concerned would be jeopardized immensely resulting into a stand-still which cannot, in any way whatsoever, will be acceptable for the simple & obvious reason that the paramount/foremost objective of judiciary is to provide justice to the masses rather than to conduct elections,” the letter stated.
“In the event of appointment of Judicial Officers as District Returning Officers and Returning Officers, they not only have to perform this onerous/whole time task but perform court functions as well which is practically impossible as sailing in two boats at the same time would badly affect both the Constitutional as well as statutory functions and may lead to any uno toward consequences,” it continued.
“Last but not the least, members of District Judiciary, Punjab, while shouldering constitutional obligations of District Returning Officers/Returning Officers in the past, have had un-pleasant/bitter experiences which became great source of obstruction in discharging their functions with freedom according to the law/ procedure,” it added.
“For the foregoing detailed reasons, I am under directions of the Hon’ble Chief Justice, that this Court does not find itself in a position to extend services of our Judicial Officers for the subject cited purpose and convey regret with heavy heart in this regard,” it concluded.
