The Delhi High Court today directed the city government not to implement the 50 per cent subsidy announced by it to people who did not pay their power bills from October 2012 to December 2013. A bench of justices B D Ahmed and Siddharth Mridul said in an oral order and listed the matter for the 21st of this month for further hearing. The court directed the standing counsel for the Delhi government to seek instructions and file an affidavit indicating the actual position regarding the proposal of then AAP government. The bench passed the order as there was "no clarity" on whether the Delhi cabinet had taken a decision to implement the subsidy as claimed by the petitioner Vivek Sharma. It was hearing a PIL challenging the subsidy given by former Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government to people who did not pay their power bills from October 2012 to December 2013.
