Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the validity of the Indian Electricity (U.P. Amendment and Validation) Act, 1976, which amended Sections 6 and 7-A of the Indian Electricity Act, 1910. The Court ruled that the amendments did not violate any constitutional provisions and were necessary for the regulation of electricity supply. The appeal against the Calcutta High Court's dismissal of the challenge to the Ordinance and Act was therefore dismissed, affirming the legislative changes.
