SC warns Punjab for ignoring 15-yr-old ruling on dues to Himachal Pradesh
Supreme Court warned Punjab against defying a 15-year-old decree on power dues owed to Himachal Pradesh.
Attorney General R Venkataramani proposed a cashless settlement for Bhakra Nangal and Beas power dues, involving in-kind energy transfers, which Himachal and Haryana accepted but Punjab objected.
The court noted Punjab's habit of defying decrees and threatened interest payments from 2011 if compliance is not achieved.
The next hearing is scheduled for August 12, with Punjab given two weeks to reconsider its objections.
