Dismiss plea against power privatisation, Chandigarh Administration asks HC

The UT Administration today asked the Punjab and Haryana High Court to dismiss a petition against the privatisation of the Electricity Department. Among other things, it was stated that the petition was still premature and the process would take time to finalise.

As the case came up for hearing, it was argued on behalf of the Administration that a proposal had been sent to the Union Home Ministry for approval. The process of privatisation could be finalised only after the approval of the Cabinet. So, this matter was still in the initial stage.
