Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the execution of the Power Project Agreement (PPA) between the Maharashtra State Electricity Board and Dabhol Power Corporation, initially executed in 1993. The Court noted the Bombay High Court's dismissal of the writ petition due to lack of evidence for allegations of corruption and misrepresentation. The Court ultimately held that the judicial commission of inquiry, led by Justice Kurdukar, should not continue due to the long delay and ineffectiveness in addressing the issues raised, thereby concluding the matter without further inquiry.
