El fallo sin precedentes se dio en el Tribunal Superior de Sincelejo, porque según los conjueces una tutela obligaba al Jefe de Estado y a sus Ministros un equilibrio salarial para 148 trabajadores de la rama judicial.

El tiempo que daba el fallo para que se llevara a cabo tal reajuste salarial caducó y el mismo no se implementó. Es por eso que se considera tal acción como un desacato al Tribunal Superior de Sincelejo, el cual sin embargo se declaró impedido para fallar por conflicto de intereses.

Por lo anterior, se nombraron a tres abogados litigantes como conjueces para que produjeran el fallo. Gustavo Adolfo Lions, Saúl Vega y Freddy de la Ossa Badel, fueron los encargados de dar el fallo.

La Corte Suprema de Justicia se encargará ahora de revisar el caso.

Colombia court seeks Uribe arrest

The court said Mr Uribe failed to enforce a legal ruling

A Colombian court has ordered three days of detention for President Alvaro Uribe for allegedly ignoring a ruling to raise salaries of judicial staff.

The regional court in Sincelejo also issued similar orders against several government ministers and officials.

The rulings are unlikely to be carried out and could be struck down by the Supreme Court, correspondents say.

The move comes amid a continuing stand-off between Colombia's judicial and executive branches.

Some 30,000 officials are holding a strike to demand higher wages and more respect for the judiciary.

Deadline 'missed'

Three judges at the Sincelejo court in northern Columbia ruled that President Uribe and several government ministers had failed to enforce a legal ruling that raised wages of nearly 150 local judicial employees.

The ruling came after the staff had made a court appeal, arguing that the deadline for the president and government to act passed in February, according to Colombia's El Tiempo newspaper.

Colombia's Supreme Court is now reviewing the Sincelejo court ruling.

It was not immediately known when the Supreme Court would announce its decision.
