M.P. State Electricity Board vs Union Of India & Ors

The Supreme Court interpreted Section 58 of the Madhya Pradesh Reorganisation Act, 2000, concerning the establishment and operation of the Chhattisgarh State Electricity Board (CSEB) and the Madhya Pradesh State Electricity Board (MPSEB). The Court held that the revenues collected by the CSEB from 1.12.2000 to 14.4.2001 were to be remitted to the MPSEB, affirming the Central Government's decision on the provisional apportionment of assets and liabilities. The judgment clarified the procedural obligations of the successor states in relation to the distribution of electricity revenues and the establishment of new boards under the 2000 Act.
