WARYAM STEEL CASTINGS PVT.LTD vs PUNJAB STATE POWER CORPN.LTD

The Supreme Court addressed the issue of electricity tariff and supply regulations under the Electricity Act, 2003, specifically referencing Section 61, which mandates the Appropriate Commission to set tariff terms. The Court held that the Punjab State Electricity Board's circulars regarding the conversion of voltage supply and the imposition of a 17.5% surcharge were invalid as they contradicted the recommendations of a High Powered Committee and the provisions of the 2003 Act. Consequently, the appellants were entitled to a refund of the surcharge already paid and were not required to convert their supply to 66 KV.
