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 HV-2 category. The Court held that the U.P. Electricity Regulatory Commission acted within its authority by restraining the implementation of the State Government's order, as it altered the approved tariff schedule contrary to the provisions of the Electricity Act, 2003, particularly Section 65. The judgment affirmed the Commission's directive to adhere to the existing tariff structure for billing purposes.
