Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Patna High Court which affirmed the Single Judge's ruling that Iceberg Industries Ltd. was not liable to pay the Annual Minimum Guarantee (AMG) and other charges claimed by the Bihar State Electricity Board. The court found that the disconnection of electricity supply was illegal as the company had valid grounds for contesting the charges. The judgment clarified the obligations of the electricity supplier and the rights of the consumer under the contract for supply of electricity.
