New Delhi, July 26: The Supreme Court has quashed the CBI inquiry and contempt proceedings initiated by the Madhya Pradesh High Court against the State Electricity Board/ regulatory commission officials and said courts have no business to run the government.
A Bench of Justices Harjit Singh Bedi and K S Radhakrishnan held that it was beyond the jurisdiction of courts to decide in PILs on issues like supply of electricity as it was in the domain of independent state agencies.
The apex court said power shortage was a national phenomena and the state agencies cannot be held accountable and punished for the purpose.
