Chandigarh, July 14

Dubbing as “lame an excuse” by the state that the Ludhiana Deputy Commissioner was facing personal inconvenience in visiting an alleged illegal mining site, the Punjab and Haryana High Court today set a four-day deadline for him and the Sessions Judge to conduct the inspection before filing a report.

As the case came up for resumed hearing before Justice SN Satyanarayana and Justice Archana Puri, the state counsel referred to personal inconvenience before seeking modification of an earlier order to the extent that the DC may depute somebody in his place for inspection. — TNS
