New Delhi: The Delhi High Court on Wednesday directed the city government not to implement the 50% subsidy announced by it to people who did not pay their power bills from October 2012 to December 2013.
“Don’t take any further steps on it,” ruled a bench of Justices B D Ahmed and Siddharth Mridul. The matter will come up for further hearing on February 21.
The court, meanwhile, directed the standing counsel for the Delhi government to seek instructions and file an affidavit indicating the actual position regarding the proposal of then Aam Aaadmi Party (AAP) government.
It was hearing a PIL challenging the subsidy given by the former AAP government to people who did not pay their power bills from October 2012 to December 2013.
