M/S Sundew Properties Limited vs Telangana State Electricity ...

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Telangana State Electricity Regulatory Commission (TSERC) regarding the status of the appellant as a deemed distribution licensee under Section 14(b) of the Electricity Act, 2003. The Court clarified that the provisions of Section 15(2) to (6) of the Act do not apply to deemed licensees and emphasized the necessity for compliance with the Distribution of Electricity Licence (Additional Requirements of Capital Adequacy, Creditworthiness and Code of Conduct) Rules, 2005. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the TSERC's conditional grant of licensee status requiring additional capital infusion by the appellant.
