He said nobody can take a decision to disobeyed court at will, adding that it would be bad omen to national development.
He said, “We must regularly obey and respect the laws of our land.
“We should never disregard the laws to avoid the consequences.
“If a court makes a judicial pronouncement on a particular matter, it should be obeyed to the letter.
“If you have any problem or disagree with the pronouncement, the next step is to appeal the pronouncement instead of disregarding or violating court judgments.
“If you are served a court order and you deliberately refused to obey it because you are a governor, president or any influential person, then you are setting a dangerous precedent.”
