When Punjab Pays Twice: Hidden Cost Of How State #Arbitrates
https://t.co/SoyRaAWKxt
“The State of #Punjab cannot keep treating arbitration as a problem to be managed at the back end, after disputes have arisen.
Punjab has paid twice for too long: once for projects that arrive late and over-budget, and a second time through arbitration awards inflated by interest accumulated over years of avoidable delay.

What no one in that cinema knew was that Fahim Ansari was at that very moment in Bareilly Central Jail, fighting another prosecution tht we’d consume the next decade.

Chandigarh: On the petition filed on behalf of BJP MP Sandeep Pathak, Advocate Arjun Sheoran says, "In the petition filed by Sandeep Pathak, we have raised concerns that two FIRs are reportedly being pursued. However, till now, no intimation has come from the Punjab Police or the government. On the 8th, the court had also asked whether there were any FIRs against him and directed them to come with instructions…"
VIDEO | Chandigarh: Advocate Arjun Sheoran says, "We approached the court after reports emerged in the national media that two FIRs had allegedly been registered by Punjab Police against my client and AAP MP Sandeep Pathak. We were not informed about the sections invoked, the allegations, or the districts involved. We approached the court seeking details and copies of any FIRs, or confirmation if none existed. There have been three hearings so far, on the 8th, 11th and today, the 15th. Even today, the government said it had no instructions on whether any FIR had been registered. We told the court that this amounts to playing hide and seek. The order dated the 8th had clearly directed the authorities to provide information regarding the FIRs, but that has still not been done. The government again sought time, and the matter has now been listed for May 22. The interim order restraining any coercive action without the court’s permission has also been continued."

I am a lawyer for Sandeep Pathak. Today, on Friday, the State of Punjab asked for time to find out what or which FIR was filed against MP Sandeep Pathak. Even today, they asked for more time.

Chandigarh: Advocate Arjun Sheoran, counsel for MP Sandeep Pathak, on the hearing related to a petition filed in the Punjab and Haryana High Court says, “See, on May 2nd and 3rd, we received news from many places that two FIRs have been filed against us. And when we sent a legal notice to the DGP Punjab and other authorities, including the Principal Secretary (Home) on May 3rd, for confirmation, there was no response. That’s why we had to come to this High Court and our plea to the Court was to either inform us about these two or more FIRs filed against us, and if such FIRs exist, to provide us with copies and protect us until we apply for bail, etc...The Judge has written in his order that until you take permission from the Court, you will not arrest them or take any coercive action. This is until the next hearing, which is scheduled for Monday..."
