J U D G M E N T
The Electricity Board challenges Ext.P9 order passed by the Consumer Grievance Redressal Forum (CGRF).
2. The issue as to whether the Board can challenge the orders of the CGRF was considered by this Court in the judgment in W.P.(C) No.25898 of 2015, dated 31st July, 2025, which has been affirmed in W.A. No.1096 of 2024 holding that the Board cannot challenge a decision of the CGRF, which binds the licensee and forms part of its institutional governance.
3. In view of the above, the writ petition is only to be dismissed.
4. It is made clear that, in case the Board obtains any favourable orders from the Honourable Supreme Court in the appeal against the judgments referred to above, it will be open to the petitioners to take such steps to impugn the decision of the CGRF.
