New Delhi, August 27: The Supreme Court today slammed the Haryana government for filing a “frivolous” appeal in a case involving financial benefits to a peon, in which it lost two rounds of legal battle in lower courts, saying “why public money and time of court is being wasted” through the exercise.
Seeing the apex court’s anger, Haryana’s Additional Advocate General Manjeet Singh said the state was withdrawing the SLP and assured it that in future such type of incidents will not take place.
The Law Secretary of the state government bore the brunt of the apex court’s anger for filing a Special Leave Petition against the decision of the Punjab and Haryana High Court which had passed a verdict in favour of the peon of an aided institution.
