Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the validity of the U.P. Power Corporation Ltd.'s circular dated 8.09.2000, emphasizing that consumers should not suffer due to the Corporation's mistakes. The Court applied the doctrine of estoppel, stating it is applicable where a promise was made, but not where none existed. The judgment in LML Ltd. v. State of Uttar Pradesh [(2008) 3 SCC 128] was referenced, and the review petition against it was dismissed, reinforcing the decision's standing.
