New Delhi sources have made a statement that the Delhi High Court has sought a response from the AAP government and TRANSCO, a state-owned power company, on a plea alleging that the appointment of Director (Finance) in the PSU was not approved by Lieutenant Governor (LG) Anil Baijal.
Meanwhile justice VK Rao directed the authorities to file a counter affidavit in three days on a plea challenging the action of the Power Department to issue an order on June 5 for giving charge of Director (Finance) of Delhi Transco Limited (TRANSCO) to its Company Secretary.
According to sources Mr. Babbar, who was employed as General Manager (Finance) with TRANSCO, has claimed that the Company Secretary of the firm has been wrongly allowed to take over the charge of Director (Finance). Meanwhile, when seeking to quash of June 5 order, Mr. Babbar claimed he was the only officer eligible for the post. The plea said that Mr. Babbar was sent out of the power company as he had alleged irregularities in the operations and management of projects worth Rs 200 crore executed by Power Grid Corporation.
