Electricity Act 2003 | Utilities Must Prove Equipment Shift for PIU Tariff Classification: Punjab & Haryana HC
Punjab & Haryana High Court rules that electricity utilities cannot impose Power-Intensive User (PIU) tariffs without proving the actual relocation of equipment. Consumer-provided gate passes and letters suffice as evidence where the utility fails to inspect or rebut, shifting the burden of proof onto the utility.
