Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the jurisdiction of the Appellate Tribunal under the Electricity Act, 2003, specifically examining Sections 111 and 121. The Court held that the Tribunal does not possess the authority to review the validity of the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (Fixation of Trading Margin) Regulations, 2006, as such power is not conferred by the Act. The Court emphasized that challenges to the Regulations must be pursued through judicial review under the Constitution, thereby affirming the Tribunal's limitations in this context.
