Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeals concerning the denial of electric power allocation to M/s. Victory Papers and Boards India Ltd. under the Kerala industrial policy of 1992. The Court held that the State's failure to process the appellant's application for power allocation, despite recommendations from the Green Channel Clearance Committee, constituted a breach of the principles of legitimate expectation and fairness. The Court directed the State of Kerala and the Kerala State Electricity Board to expedite the processing of the application and grant the necessary power allocation, thereby upholding the appellant's rights under the policy.
