Walmart's petition: Make earnest efforts to remove blockage, says Punjab and Haryana HC

Chandigarh, August 9

Acting on a petition filed by Walmart India Private Limited (Best Price Modern Wholesale), the Punjab and Haryana High Court has called for earnest efforts to ensure the petitioner is able to remove the goods, the shelf-life of which has expired or was going to expire within three months. Justice Lisa Gill also called for “necessary steps for removal of blockage”.

As the petition filed through senior counsel RS Rai came up for hearing, reply by way of an affidavit was filed, stating the administration and police had been successful in persuading the local kisan union leaders to talk to their state-level leaders stationed at Delhi to come forward with proposals to end the deadlock.

Rai submitted the removal of expired/about-to-expire goods was also required to be facilitated. — TNS
