SOUTHERN POWER DISTRIBUTION COMPANY OF TELANGANA LTD. THROUGH ITS CMD vs GOPAL AGARWAL

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision that an auction purchaser cannot be denied a Low Tension electricity connection due to unpaid dues of the previous owner, referencing the judgments in Ahmedabad Electricity Co. Ltd. v. Gujarat Inns (P) Ltd. and Isha Marbles v. Bihar State Electricity Board. The Court emphasized that the new owner should not be held liable for the previous owner's debts. Consequently, the appeal by the Appellants was dismissed, affirming the High Court's ruling.
