The Supreme Court examined the Tamil Nadu Revision of Tariff Rates on Supply of Electrical Energy Act, 1978, particularly Sections 3 and 4, which govern the tariff rates for electricity supplied by the Tamil Nadu Electricity Board. The Court held that the amendments made to the tariff schedule must comply with the provisions of the Act and that the definition of 'small farmer' is crucial in determining eligibility for reduced rates. The Court ruled in favor of the appellants, affirming their rights to the specified tariff rates as per the Act.
