Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the applicability of the Uttar Pradesh Government's policy decision dated 14.6.2006 regarding electricity supply to power loom bunkers under the Electricity Act, 2003, particularly Section 65. The Court held that the U.P. Electricity Regulatory Commission acted within its jurisdiction by restraining the implementation of the State Government's order, as it altered the approved tariff schedule without legal basis. The judgment reaffirmed the Commission's authority to enforce billing strictly according to the existing tariff order for LMV-2 and LMV-6 consumers, while HV-2 consumers were not covered under the rebate scheme.
