The Supreme Court on September 15, issued notices to the Delhi Chief Secretary and Finance Secretary in a contempt petition filed by the Judicial Service Association of Delhi, over the government’s alleged failure to implement court-mandated soft loan facilities for judicial officers. 10 lakh at nominal interest for the purchase of vehicles by judicial officers. The Judicial Service Association of Delhi, representing officers of the Delhi Judicial Services and Higher Judicial Services, argued that the government failed to comply with Para 33(g) of the January 2024 judgment, which explicitly directed that soft loan facilities up to Rs.10 lakh at nominal interest for the purchase of vehicles be extended to judicial officers. The petitioners noted that the State’s review petition against the January 2024 judgment was dismissed, and the Additional Solicitor General had assured compliance within four weeks. Yet, the Delhi government has neither allocated the necessary budget nor framed a scheme to implement the benefit.
