MODI TELE FIBRES LIMITED. vs U.P.STATE ELECTRICITY BOARD .

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Allahabad High Court, affirming that the U.P. State Electricity Board (UPSEB) was not obligated to provide separate domestic connections to residential colonies as requested by Modi Tele Fibres Ltd. The Court noted that the appellant's request for permanent disconnection was not valid as it was made by a person not authorized to do so under the agreement. The Court emphasized the binding nature of contractual obligations under the Electricity Act, 2003, and held that the appellant remained liable for the electricity supplied until a proper disconnection was executed.
