Prasad GLN 1,759 Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Now they are more smart, and stopped imposing penalties. The latest statistics disclose that many State commissions have not even imposed even in one case in a year, and in other states it is very meager. The commissions can be self sufficient and can earn if they judicially follow the laid down norms and impose penalties as per laid down law. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
