Punjab and Haryana HC Ends PIL After Water Pipeline Restoration
A resident complained to the court about a broken water pipe.
The pipe, which brings water from Sector 26 to Manimajra, was damaged during heavy rains.
The court case, known as a PIL, was about the city taking too long to fix it.
The city has already fixed the pipe, so the court case is now closed.
The judges looked at the city's report that showed the pipe was fixed and decided there was no reason to continue the case.

The PIL was filed by a local resident, Shivani Sahni.
The case concerned the restoration of a damaged water pipeline.
