Chandigarh, Oct 29: The Punjab and Haryana High Court has imposed a cost of Rs 1 lakh on Punjab Chief Secretary K A P Sinha for failing to submit a compliance report in a case concerning pending dearness allowance dues to state government employees and pensioners.
Justice Harsh Bunger also directed Sinha to file a personal affidavit by October 30 on compliance with the court's earlier orders and appear in person at the next hearing on November 3.
The order had directed the Punjab Government to release dearness allowance and dearness relief dues at the rates paid to All India Services officers serving in the state under the Central government pattern.
