Supreme Court Directs Power Supply
A long time ago, on January 14, 1986, the Supreme Court of India made a big decision.
They said that the power supply to a company called Shriram Foods and Fertilisers Industries should not be turned off.
This was important because the company had asked the court for help during their lunch break.
The court, which included the Chief Justice and another judge, quickly decided to keep the power on.
This was a special order that helped the company continue its work without any interruptions.
The Supreme Court directed that power supply to Shriram Foods and Fertilisers Industries not be cut off.
The order was passed by Chief Justice P N Bhagwati and Justice G L Oza during the lunch recess.
The company moved a petition before the judges during the lunch break.
The Delhi Electric Supply Undertaking and the Municipal Corporation were instructed not to cut off the power.
The order was passed to ensure the company's operations were not disrupted.
