New Delhi, Aug 30 (IANS) The Supreme Court Tuesday asked private power distribution companies (Discoms) in Delhi to furnish details of the number of connections given by them and the total energy supplied to consumers.

An apex court bench of Justice D.K. Jain and Justice A.K. Ganguly issued the direction after court-appointed lawyer Ranjit Kumar said that the Delhi government’s claim that there was surplus power in the city was hard to digest.
