https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=285057 Under section 64 of the Electricity Act, 2003, objectors to retail tariff determination have no independent right to an oral hearing before the State Commission where the statute and regulations contemplate publication of the tariff application, written objections, and consideration of those objections in the prescribed manner. The tariff process is quasi-judicial, but natural justice is shaped by the statutory scheme; here, the availability of written objections and a statutory appeal under section 111 meant that oral hearing could not be implied for objectors. A bank guarantee given for interim protection did not create any special procedural entitlement. The direction requiring oral hearing was therefore unsustainable, and the Commission was to decide the tariff application on written objections in accordance with law. en-us Wed, 29 Apr 2015 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 24 Dec 2019 09:45:47 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=285057 Under section 64 of the Electricity Act, 2003, objectors to retail tariff determination have no independent right to an oral hearing before the State Commission where the statute and regulations contemplate publication of the tariff application, written objections, and consideration of those objections in the prescribed manner.
