An affidavit was submitted in the high court on behalf of the Uttarakhand Power Corporation Limited (UPCL) managing director in a public interest litigation challenging cheap electricity to departmental officials and hike in power tariffs for the common citizens.
It was stated in the affidavit that following the court orders, meters had been installed by some of the employees. Objecting to this, the petitioner’s counsel said that as electricity meters had been installed in the homes of only some employees, the MD had not followed the court orders as the employees had been paid their salary for the month of November.
