The Permanent Lok Adalat, Mohali, ordered the attachment of the salary of a Punjab State Power Corporation Limited (PSPCL) executive engineer (XEN) in a case of alleged delay in installing a power connection in Zirakpur.
The adalat, presided over by Vandana Gupta and SS Dhaliwal, passed the order on June 21, while observing that despite the orders, the PSPCL was avoiding to release the connection on “flimsy grounds”.
It further observed that action of PSPCL amounts to contempt of adalat orders. Before taking “drastic action” against the officials, it asked the body to release the regular connection within a day and attach the salary of Zirakpur division XEN HS Oberai.
