https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=186276 The Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board Act, 2008 was read as distinguishing a common carrier or contract carrier from a city or local natural gas distribution network. The Board could regulate transportation rates and access within the statutory scheme, but the Act did not authorise it to fix the consumer-facing retail price of gas or to compel disclosure of retail price components in bills. Section 61 could not enlarge the Board's substantive powers beyond the parent Act, and the phrase "subject to the provisions of this Act" in Section 22 kept tariff powers within the limits set by Section 11. Regulations travelling beyond that authority were therefore ultra vires and invalid. en-us Wed, 01 Jul 2015 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 13 Sep 2016 14:39:46 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=186276 The Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board Act, 2008 was read as distinguishing a common carrier or contract carrier from a city or local natural gas distribution network.
