During the course of proceeding, the counsel for the Ministry of Water and Power apprised the court that an audit report regarding the overbilling has been prepared and would be provided after completion of office procedures.
After hearing the arguments, the court directed the Ministry of Water and Power to present the audit report to the court on next hearing and adjourned the petition for a week.
