PSU should not indulge in legal jugglery: HC

NEW DELHI: Holding that indulging in "jugglery of legal provision" for depriving

the public of its due is an abuse of law, the Delhi High Court has imposed a cost
on NIACL for resorting to such practice. Justice V B Gupta said the government
undertaking should have a sympathetic view towards the general public. "
The government undertaking must have human approach and should not
indulge in the jugglery of legal provisions as to deprive the unfortunate
victims of their legal due," Justice Gupta said while imposing a cost of Rs 5,000
on New India Assurance Co. Ltd (NIACL)
