Cost imposed for niacl jugglery

Thanks for posting.

It is good that HC has taken a note and has awarded penalty to offender and thus reprieve and relief to public.

This decision of HC shall encourage many amongst the public and their lawyers to expose the "jugglery of legal provision" played by NIACL and other establishments.

Such decisions by learned Courts shall be a step towards reducing the legal burden caused by establishments.
