The Allahabad High Court has stated that the UP chief secretary will face contempt proceedings if court orders concerning land acquisition compensation are not implemented. The court emphasized that departmental work distribution cannot excuse non-compliance with its directives. Justice Salil Kumar Rai noted that the highest state officer is responsible if administrative confusion hinders order execution. This ruling follows a case where a petitioner's land acquired in 1977 received no compensation, and subsequent deposits were deemed improper, leading to lapsed acquisition proceedings.
