SC again clears decks for power privatisation in Chandigarh
The Supreme Court on Monday once again stayed the Punjab and Haryana high court’s stay order against the privatisation of the Chandigarh electricity department, clearing the decks for the process.
Senior standing counsel, UT, Pankaj Jain confirmed that the apex court has stayed the high court order. “Notice has been issued today and stay granted in favour of UT,” Jain said, adding that the case will now be taken up in mid-August.
The matter was listed before the bench of justice Abdul Nazeer and justice V Ramasubramanian. The UT administration had argued that the HC order goes against the SC’s previous order.
