Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed appeals concerning the determination of electricity tariffs by the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission under the Electricity Act, 2003. The Court held that the tariff-setting process must adhere to the regulatory framework established by the Act, and prior notifications from the Central Government under the Electricity Supply Act, 1948, remain relevant for historical context. The Court upheld the decisions of the Appellate Tribunal for Electricity regarding tariff calculations, affirming the regulatory authority's role in tariff determination.
