It is understandable that as part of the welfare measure you want to provide to those who are incapable of pay the electricity charges," the bench asked."But without drawing a distinction between those who can afford and those who cannot, you start distributing. Will it not amount to an appeasing policy," the CJI asked.The bench asked as to why the Tamil Nadu firm suddenly decided to loosen the purse strings after the electricity tariff was notified."The states should work to open avenues for employment. If you start giving free food from morning to evening then free cycle, then free electricity then who will work and then what will happen to the work culture," the CJI said.The bench said states, instead of spending on development projects, do two jobs - paying salaries and distributing such largesse.This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.
