Grid Cropration Of Orissa Ltd vs Gajendra Haldea & Ors

The Supreme Court addressed the jurisdiction of the Appellate Tribunal for Electricity under Section 111 of the Electricity Act, 2003, holding that the appeal filed by Gajendra Haldea was misconceived as it did not meet the statutory requirements outlined in the Act. The Court emphasized that the Appellate Tribunal's authority is limited to appeals against orders made by adjudicating officers or the Appropriate Commission, and thus upheld the CERC's dismissal of Haldea's petition. The outcome confirmed the CERC's jurisdiction over GRIDCO and clarified the procedural prerequisites for appeals under the Act.
