Sc Sharma vs Chair.Upseb

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of political interference in the functioning of the Uttar Pradesh Electricity Board, as highlighted by the Kaul Committee's report. The Court noted that the State Government's actions contravened the principles of autonomy established under the Electricity Act, leading to a lack of transparency and accountability in transfers and postings of officers. The Court emphasized the need for adherence to the guidelines for transfer policy and recognized the detrimental impact of political patronage on the operational integrity of the Electricity Board, ultimately calling for reforms to restore its autonomous status.
