@reliancejio : I am facing the worst ever consumer service from your end. Applied for shifting of connection on 04.10.2035 - despite repeated complaints, highlights and escalation, no engineer ever visited to shift connection till date.
@pranavverma17 Don't you think the proviso in Section 23 of the new bill applies to both clauses 1 and 2? Basically 25 and 26 of IEA is combined with one common proviso. Nowhere in proviso it states that it is applicable to only clause 1 and not 2.
Now law is well settled that there can be no adverse inference/vicarious liability in a criminal case as going as per the Interpretation rules the criminal laws are strictly construed
@_ishaan58 While filing contempt against a state or its department, it is petitioners's duty to do due diligence and identify the person in such state/dept who is responsible for executing court order. Contempt is not maintainable only against a dept/state. But the officers in charge.
Though we need to see the detailed reasons in the Judgement but if the above is the position, then there might be a vaccume and a legal fiction where the House might have recognized one person as a representative of a party and ECI the other one.

Now the question is what happens when Speaker comes to a contrary decision to the ECI. Suppose Speaker decides whip of Group A is valid and ECI decides symbol belongs to Group B
