On that reading, consumers were bound to pay enhanced rates fixed by the Municipality under the existing contractual scheme. Because the revision operated under an already agreed term and did not alter the agreement's conditions, previous sanction of the State Government was not required under section 21(2) of the Indian Electricity Act, 1910.
