Record perused. On 12.06.2025, this Tribunal had dismissed the two applications filed by the respondent’s counsel; one for the vacation of stay and the other for pre-ponement of date. A cost of Rs. 10,000/- was also imposed and directed him to be deposited with the DSLSA. The matter was listed for 15.07.2025 for arguments. On 15.07.2025, Mr. Kanhaiya Singhal, Ld. Counsel for the respondent appeared and stated that he had already written to the respondent department for depositing the said cost.

Thereafter, the matter was listed on 18.08.2025 for reporting compliance as well as for final arguments. Till that date, the respondent has not deposited the said cost. Instead, proxy counsel for the respondent stated that he has filed the writ petition (Civil) vide diary no. 4711998 before Hon’ble Delhi High Court against the order passed by this Tribunal, and he submits that the matter is likely to be listed within a week.

Matter was listed on 01.09.2025 for depositing the cost. On 01.09.2025, proxy counsel for the respondent stated that matter would be listed on 02.09.2025, and accordingly, this was adjourned for today.

Again, the proxy counsel of the respondent has taken the plea that matter would be listed tomorrow before Hon’ble Delhi High Court.

However, counsel for the appellant by that time stated that he had not received any notice regarding the listing of the case before Hon’ble Delhi High Court.

This Tribunal has also noted that instead of complying with the order and advancing the argument in this appeal, respondent is deliberately delaying the matter.
