The National Students' Union of India (NSUI) has raised serious constitutional concerns about the Madhya Pradesh government allegedly disregarding judicial orders, questioning whether the state government considers itself above the judiciary.

National media panelist of NSUI, Viraj Yadav, has highlighted a case involving Prime Minister Excellence College, Rajgarh, where the Madhya Pradesh High Court had issued clear instructions in W.P. No. 24047/2019 (Nafisa Bano vs. Higher Education Department and others). The court had ordered not only to halt illegal recovery from pensions but also to return previously deducted amounts with interest.

According to Yadav, despite this ruling, the college administration has taken no action, and the Higher Education Department has remained silent on this contempt. He has formally written to three senior officials- Anurag Jain, Chief Secretary of Madhya Pradesh; Anupam Rajan, Additional Chief Secretary of the Higher Education Department; and Nishant Varvade, Commissioner of the Higher Education Department.

In his letter, Yadav alleges that instead of questioning subordinate officials, the department began defending the court order by presenting a "reasoned order" in the Legislative Assembly, which he describes as not only unconstitutional but also an attempt to mislead the public.

"Retired employees want to live this phase of life with dignity and peace, not amidst mental harassment caused by forced recoveries and disregard of judicial orders," the NSUI has stated.

Yadav has publicly shared his contact number (6263511185) in the letter, noting that he continues to receive similar complaints from retired personnel of various departments across the state. He has invited others suffering from such illegal recoveries or contempt of court orders to contact him directly.

The NSUI has demanded immediate compliance with court orders, departmental action against responsible officials, departmental review instead of explanations in the assembly, and strict instructions to all government institutions to rigorously follow judicial orders.

Yadav has warned that if the government fails to take prompt action, the NSUI will escalate this issue into a public movement throughout the state.

"Contempt of the judiciary is not just an insult to an employee; it's an attack on the soul of the Constitution. It's time for the administration to be accountable," Yadav stated.
