The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's dismissal of Writ Petitions No.9081 of 1999 and 13458 of 1993, affirming the Electricity Board's demand for additional charges on delayed payments under Clause 32.2.1 and 34 of the Terms and Conditions of Supply. The Court clarified that the interim order allowing payment at a reduced rate of 48 paise per unit would continue during the appeals, but no refunds would be made to consumers who had paid at enhanced rates. The Court's holding reinforced the validity of the Electricity Board's tariff revisions and the conditions set forth in the interim orders.
