The Punjab and Haryana High Court has raised concerns over the timing of a raid conducted by the Punjab Pollution Control Board (PPCB) at the premises of Trident Limited, observing that the company’s apprehension of political vendetta appeared “reasonably palpable.”

The matter arose after a raid was conducted on April 30, 2026, by officials of the PPCB at facilities linked to Trident Limited. The company approached the High Court seeking protection from coercive action and requested that seized samples be tested outside Punjab.

The High Court of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh has dismissed an appeal filed by the Jammu and Kashmir Board of School Education (BOSE) against a former education officer, holding that money paid to him for performing higher responsibilities could not be recovered later.

The dispute arose after Syed Abdul Rouf, an officer from the School Education Department, was deputed to work as In-charge Joint Secretary in BOSE on different occasions.

The Supreme Court has ruled that electricity consumers in Delhi cannot be forced to bear tariff charges for a power plant that stopped supplying electricity after March 2018. In a significant judgment, the Court set aside an order of the Appellate Tribunal for Electricity (APTEL) that had allowed Tata Power Delhi Distribution Limited (TPDDL) to recover the full capital cost of the Rithala gas-based power plant over 15 years.

The dispute arose from the Rithala Combined Cycle Power Plant in Delhi, established by TPDDL ahead of the 2010 Commonwealth Games to meet peak electricity demand. The project was approved as a temporary arrangement with an operational life of only five to six years.
