No Retrospective Recovery of Electricity Subsidy Without Statutory Authority | CGRF Jurisdiction Upheld Against MSEDCL : Bombay HC
The Bombay HC has ruled that MSEDCL cannot claw back previously paid VM subsidies through retrospective debit adjustments without explicit legal authorization, reinforcing that Consumer Grievance Redressal Forums have the authority to nullify such unlawful billing practices. This sets a critical precedent for industrial and CETP consumers nationwide, ensuring subsidy benefits cannot be arbitrarily revoked after the fact.
