The Electricity dues for the periods prior to approval of the Resolution Plan and on no claim being made would stand extinguished and Section 56 of the Electricity Act will not be attracted – Reliance Infratel Ltd. and Anr. Vs. State of Meghalaya and Ors. – Meghalaya High Court
Hon’ble High Court held that the dues claimed by the respondent No. 1, are for the periods prior to the effective date i.e. 22.12.2022, which on the approval of the Resolution Plan, on no claim being made by the respondent No. 2, would therefore stand extinguished. In the considered view of this Court, Section 56 of the Electricity Act will not be attracted, as it is not a case where the petitioner No. 1, after the effective date, has neglected to pay any charge of electricity, or that any amount is due.
