The Supreme Court addressed appeals concerning fuel adjustment charges levied by the Delhi Electricity Supply Undertaking (DESU) under an agreement dated September 26, 1972.

The Court ruled that the consumer is liable to pay for any increase in rates as determined by the undertaking, affirming the arbitration award and the High Court's decision.
