https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=192040 Section 17 of the Electricity Regulatory Commissions Act, 1998 was held to confer discretion, not a mandatory duty, on the State Government to constitute a State Electricity Regulatory Commission; accordingly, a writ of mandamus could not compel its creation. Until the Commission was established, the State Electricity Board continued to exercise tariff-setting and tariff-revision powers under the Electricity (Supply) Act, 1948. The tariff-guiding principles in Section 29 of the 1998 Act were intended to operate through the Commission and did not bind the Board before the Commission came into existence. en-us Thu, 19 Mar 2009 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 10 May 2017 16:25:04 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=192040 Section 17 of the Electricity Regulatory Commissions Act, 1998 was held to confer discretion, not a mandatory duty, on the State Government to constitute a State Electricity Regulatory Commission; accordingly, a writ of mandamus could not compel its creation.
