The Punjab and Haryana High Court has issued a show-cause notice to PSPCL chairman-cum-managing director (CMD) A Venu Prasad asking him why contempt of court proceedings should not be initiated against him for “intentional and wilful defiance of its orders”.
The court has fixed July 7 as the next date of hearing. Gurdaspur-based SDO Ram Gopal had petitioned the court after he was compulsorily retired on September 4, 2020. The petitioner had claimed that he was being “punished” for flagging corrupt practices in the PSPCL.
