Modi Tele Fibres Ltd vs U.P. State Electricity Board & Ors

The Supreme Court held that the U.P. State Electricity Board (UPSEB) was obligated to disconnect the electricity supply to the appellant's factory following its permanent closure on 04.09.1995, as per the agreement terms and the appellant's repeated requests. The Court emphasized that the UPSEB's refusal to provide separate domestic connections to the residential colonies constituted a breach of the agreement, thus entitling the appellant to relief. The appeal was allowed, and the High Court's dismissal of the writ petition was set aside, directing UPSEB to comply with the disconnection request.
