Court notice to Red Cross

Chandigarh, September 22

The High Court has put the Indian Red Cross Society on notice over a petition alleging that a general secretary was granted extension till his superannuation in violation of rules.

The notice by Justice Anil Kshetarpal came on a petition filed against the Indian Red Cross Society, general secretary DR Sharma and other respondents by Sumer Singh.

The notice was accepted by the Additional Advocate-General. The case would come up on October 5.

The plaintiff’s counsel contended that relevant rules made it clear that there was no provision for grant of extension after completion of the initial term of three years.

The counsel added that the respondent’s appointment as general secretary of the Haryana State Red Cross branch was illegal, arbitrary and unconstitutional. — TNS
