Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal under Section 125 of the Electricity Act, 2003, holding that the appellant, Wardha Power Co. Ltd., failed to establish a substantial question of law. The Court affirmed the concurrent findings of the Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission and the Appellate Tribunal for Electricity, which determined that the appellant could only claim the Power Purchase Agreement rates for generated power and not for adhoc purchases made due to delays. The Court emphasized that the appellant could not unjustly enrich itself from the arrangement.
