SC warns Punjab for ignoring 15-yr-old ruling on dues to Himachal Pradesh
NEW DELHI: Punjab govt's stiff resistance to attorney general R Venkataramani's proposal for amicable implementation of a 15-year-old Supreme Court decree settling Bhakra Nangal and Beas power dues since 1966 in favour of Himachal Pradesh made SC observe, "The state has a habit of defying decrees and old habits die hard."
Venkataramani told a bench of CJI Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana that he had extensive consultations with Punjab, Haryana, Himachal and Union ministry of power after getting the records examined by CAG for independent determination of the historical capital cost liability.
