Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court ruled that the Orissa State Electricity Board's notifications under Section 29 of the Electricity (Supply) Act, 1948, were valid and provided adequate opportunity for public representation regarding transmission schemes. The Court emphasized that compliance with statutory requirements is essential for the legitimacy of such notifications. The appeal by Orissa Power Transmission Corporation Limited was dismissed, affirming the lower court's decision that upheld the notifications as lawful and properly executed.
