The Supreme Court on November 28 made it clear that the Delhi government should fully comply with its order to pay its contribution of ₹415 crore to the Regional Rapid Rail Transit System (RRTS) project.
A Bench headed by Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul expressed displeasure that the government had to be “arm-twisted to pay money that it is liable to pay”.
“You can make a budgetary provision for advertisements but you cannot make provision for an infrastructure project. You want funds to be diverted from the environment and not make budgetary provision separately,” Justice Kaul orally observed.
