IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT MADRAS
HEMANT CHANDANGOUDAR, J
I.Vetrivel – Appellant
Versus
The Director, TANGEDCO, Accounts Branch, Anna Salai, Chennai. – Respondent
W.M.P.(MD)No.925 and 926 of 2021

Writ petition dismissed as infructuous due to prior court order resolving the matter.

Headnote:The petitioner challenged an order under Article 226 classifying its ready mix concrete activity as an industry for electricity tariff purposes, seeking assessment under Low Tension IIIB Tariff. The court noted the impugned Memo No.CFC/GL/Tf.Cell/AEE/F.Mixing Plant/D.1759/05 dated 20.08.2005. The court determined that due to a prior order, no further adjudication was required. The sole issue was the appropriateness of the electricity tariff classification. The court's reasoning relied on the earlier decision in W.P.(MD)No.20814 of 2014 rendering the petition infructuous. The writ petition is dismissed as infructuous with no order as to costs.
