CJI Chandrachud today assured the AAP government that it has the authority to release the allocated Rs 3,000 crore for the Delhi Jal Board even after the March 31 deadline. The decision came after the AAP administration urgently petitioned for the release of funds, fearing their potential expiry. The hearing has been scheduled for April 1.
The Supreme Court overturned the default bail granted to DHFL promoters Kapil Wadhawan and Dheeraj Wadhawan in a multi-crore loan scam case.
