Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Andhra Pradesh High Court which quashed the letter dated 17.03.2003 from the Chief Engineer of respondent No.1, directing the evacuation of power as per the Power Purchase Agreement (PPA). The Court emphasized that the Andhra Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission (APERC) had the authority to direct amendments to the PPA, and the cessation of power evacuation was unjustified. The ruling reinforced the enforceability of contracts under the Andhra Pradesh Electricity Reforms Act, 1998, ensuring that the appellant's rights under the PPA were protected.
