TRANSMISSION CORPORATION OF A.P. vs CH. PRABHAKAR .

The Supreme Court held that the amendments made to the Indian Electricity Act, 1910 by the Indian Electricity (Andhra Pradesh Amendment) Act, 2000, which transferred cases of electrical energy theft to a Special Tribunal, were valid. The Court found that the High Court's decision to allow the writ petition and direct the trial to continue in ordinary criminal courts was incorrect. The appeal by the Transmission Corporation of A.P. Limited was allowed, and the case was ordered to be transferred to the Special Tribunal as per the amended provisions.
