High Court Directs Tribunal to Decide Power Employees' Status Within Three Months

The Punjab and Haryana High Court has suspended the Central Administrative Tribunal's interim status quo order regarding power employees' status after Chandigarh's power sector privatisation. The court directed the Tribunal to resolve whether these employees belong to the Chandigarh Administration or Chandigarh Power Distribution Limited within three months. It mandated completion of pleadings within four weeks and urged both parties to avoid unnecessary delays, allowing remedies if any prejudicial orders arise during proceedings.
