Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal concerning the dismissal of a suit by a Private Limited Company engaged in printing, which contested the billing by the Delhi Electric Supply Undertaking (DESU) for exceeding the sanctioned load and improper power factor. The Court held that the plaintiff was not liable for the higher tariff and surcharges imposed by DESU as the inspection report was flawed and did not accurately reflect the nature of the plaintiff's business. The Court emphasized the necessity of proper evidence and adherence to procedural fairness in utility billing disputes, ultimately allowing the appeal and setting aside the lower court's decisions.
