Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the policy of the Kerala State Government as per G.O. (MS) No.4/92/ID dated 6.2.1992, which exempts new industrial units from enhanced power tariffs for five years, provided they meet specific criteria. The Court clarified that eligibility for concessions must be certified by relevant authorities, emphasizing the importance of compliance with the policy's stipulations. The appeal against the Kerala High Court's dismissal of the writ was rejected, affirming the lower court's decision.
