Rejecting Water and Power Development Authority’s (WAPDA) claim in the National Assembly on Monday that the apex court was one of its defaulters, the Supreme Court clarified that paying bill was the responsibility of PWD. According to WAPDA, the Supreme Court of Pakistan was defaulter of Rs 3,470,000 against the utility bills. On Monday, on the base of information provided by WAPDA in the National Assembly, several TV channels reported that that Supreme Court was among public sector organisations defaulting on payment of electricity bills. However, the SC deputy registrar said in a press release on Monday night that WAPDA’s claim were untrue and clarified that neither the Supreme Court received any funds directly from the budget to pay the utility bills, nor was it a defaulter against any such bill.
