HC junks plea challenging removal of power lines from over NH in Haryana
The Punjab and Haryana High Court has dismissed a plea that challenged the removal of power lines over a National Highway after finding material evidence that some facts had been withheld by the petitioner.
The petitioner, one Nanbai of Mauri village of Charkhi Dadri, had challenged the shifting of the 132 KV power lines over NH 152-D by NHAI (National Highways Authority of India).
The NHAI in its reply by project director, KM Sharma, filed through counsel Advocate Abhilaksh Gaind, contended that under the Bharat Mala Project, a project of national importance — namely Trans-Haryana Green Field Project (NH-152D) — was being constructed.
