Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court examined whether the West Bengal State Electricity Board's withdrawal of concessional power supply, granted under an agreement, was arbitrary and violated principles of fair treatment. The Court upheld the High Court's decision, which confirmed the dismissal of the writ petition challenging the withdrawal. The case centered on contractual rights and administrative discretion in tariff concessions. The Court emphasized the importance of transparency and non-arbitrariness in administrative actions related to public utilities.
