https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=170108 Standby charges for electricity supply were treated as part of tariff and pricing for bulk power, bringing the dispute within the State Electricity Regulatory Commission's statutory jurisdiction under the Electricity Regulatory Commissions Act, 1998. Once the Commission was constituted, prior State Government directions could not determine or quantify those charges, and unilateral enhancement by the licensee was impermissible under the regulatory scheme. The Commission's quantification was also procedurally flawed because the required quorum was not properly involved in the consultative process, so fresh consideration was warranted. The High Court's remand for de novo decision and its interim payment arrangement were upheld. en-us Fri, 17 Oct 2003 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 09 Dec 2015 09:49:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=170108 Standby charges for electricity supply were treated as part of tariff and pricing for bulk power, bringing the dispute within the State Electricity Regulatory Commission's statutory jurisdiction under the Electricity Regulatory Commissions Act, 1998.
