Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court, while adjudicating Civil Appeal No. 4510 of 2006, held that an appeal under Section 125 of the Electricity Act, 2003 can only be maintained on grounds specified in Section 100 of the Code of Civil Procedure, 1908, which allows appeals only on substantial questions of law. The Court emphasized that concurrent findings of fact by the Regulatory Commission and the Appellate Tribunal cannot be reopened in such appeals. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the decision of the Appellate Tribunal regarding tariff orders.
