Judgment text excerpt
The case concerns a challenge to the High Court's decision to re-determine and enhance the electricity tariff fixed by the West Bengal Electricity Regulatory Commission. The Commission contended that the High Court overstepped its appellate jurisdiction by substituting its own determination of the tariff for that of the expert body. The Supreme Court examined whether the High Court could validly re-determine tariffs under Section 27 of the Electricity Regulatory Commissions Act, 1998.
