Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the scope of appellate jurisdiction under Section 27 of the Electricity Regulatory Commissions Act, 1998. The primary issue was whether the High Court, while hearing an appeal against the Commission's tariff determination, could substitute its own decision by re-determining and enhancing the tariff. The Court examined the limits of judicial review over the specialized findings of a regulatory body.
