It agreed to honour an interim court verdict allocating electricity charges between the Afternoon and the Swatantra Party, Maharashtra, on a 60/40 basis, and to permit the Afternoon to install a sub-meter. The existing electricity-sharing and monthly-donation arrangement with the Adult Education Institute was also to continue, subject to adjustments after the Afternoon paid its outstanding dues.
