Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the constitutionality of a Committee formed under Regulation 23(ii) of the Electricity Supply (Consumers) Regulations, 1984, determining that the High Court's finding of illegality was incorrect. The Court held that the Committee's formation complied with statutory requirements, emphasizing the importance of adhering to regulatory frameworks in administrative actions. Consequently, the appeal was allowed, overturning the High Court's ruling and reinstating the Committee's legitimacy.
