Section 56(1) of the Electricity Act, 2003 may support disconnection and reconnection charges, but only reconnection charges arising on actual restoration remain payable after the plan is approved. A civil decree founded solely on extinguished dues also loses enforceability. The writ petition was allowed, and electricity supply was directed to be restored on payment of reconnection charges alone. en-us Wed, 23 Mar 2022 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 24 Mar 2022 09:21:21 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=419961 Approval of a resolution plan under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code extinguishes pre-resolution operational dues under the clean slate principle, so a distribution licensee cannot insist on payment of past electricity arrears or disconnection charges as a condition for restoring supply.
