Tata Power Company Limited vs Reliance Energy Limited And Ors.

The Supreme Court addressed appeals arising from a common judgment of the Appellate Tribunal for Electricity concerning the distribution of electricity by Tata Power Company Limited (TPC) within the licensed area of BSES Limited. The Court examined the applicability of Section 22(2)(e) and (n) of the Electricity Regulatory Commissions Act, 1998, determining that TPC's licenses permitted it to distribute electricity directly to consumers in BSES's area. The Court upheld the Tribunal's decision, affirming TPC's entitlement to operate within the contested area, thereby dismissing BSES's appeals.
