Case Note & Summary
The petitioners, a private limited company and its shareholder, filed a writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India before the High Court of Judicature at Bombay, invoking its civil appellate jurisdiction. The petition assailed a communication dated 6 December 2024 issued by respondent no. 2, the Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Co. Ltd. (MSEDCL). The respondents included the State of Maharashtra through its Industries, Energy and Labour Department, MSEDCL, its Chief Engineer (Kalyan Zone), the Superintendent Engineer (Palghar Small Circle), and the Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission. The petitioners were represented by advocates Mr. Jay Sanklecha and Mr. Kunal Damle, while Senior Advocate Ms. Deepa Chawan appeared for respondent nos. 2 to 4 along with Mr. Kiran Gandhi and Ms. Ruchi Patil, instructed by Little and Company. Mr. M.M. Pabale, Additional Government Pleader, appeared for the State. The bench comprised Justices G. S. Kulkarni and Advait M. Sethna. The judgment was reserved on 16 April 2025 and pronounced on 6 June 2025. The Court, at the outset, issued Rule and made it returnable forthwith. The respondents waived service, and with the consent of all parties, the matter was taken up for final hearing. The text of the judgment up to the point of extraction only records the preliminary order and the nature of the challenge. No substantive legal issues, arguments, or findings were detailed in the provided excerpt. The petition's core grievance concerned the impugned communication of MSEDCL, but its content and the specific relief sought were not disclosed in the available portion of the document. Consequently, the extract does not reveal the outcome on merits, the ratio decidendi, or any analysis of statutory provisions. The only recorded step is the procedural order allowing the matter to be heard immediately with the parties’ consent.
