Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the validity of the withdrawal of a 25% tariff concession under Section 49 of the Electricity (Supply) Act, 1948, by the Transmission Corporation of A.P. The Court held that the concession could not be withdrawn as the respondents had commenced production prior to the withdrawal date, and the State had not issued directives under Section 78A of the Act. Consequently, the appeals were allowed, affirming the entitlement of the respondents to the concession.
