New Delhi: The Supreme Court has decided to hear the pleas of two power transmission firms, BSES Rajdhani and BSES Yamuna, that challenged the order of a tribunal which had fixed the tariffs for the power sold in the national capital.

The bench of Justice Ranjan Gogoi and Justice N.V. Ramana admitted the petition, as counsel C.S. Vaidyanathan contested the validity, legality and correctness of the order of the Appellate Tribunal for Electricity served on March 2.

The two firms want the order set aside.

As the court said the matter related to determination of tariff, Vaidyanathan said: “Determination of tariff is contrary to the regulations.”

The court, nevertheless, took exception to the petitioners filing voluminous petitions.

“Do you expect us not to take up any case in 2015,” the bench queried. “Is this something to scare the judges?”

The Appellate Tribunal for Electricity order had come on an appeal by the discoms, challenging the July 13, 2012 tariff order of the Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission.

The order was challenged on 36 counts, including wrongful reduction of collection efficiency, incorrect calculation of enforcement sales and fixation of transmission losses.

The RG Marathon Championship Run 2023 in Goa was a testament to inclusivity. Initially resistant to including persons with disabilities, it eventually featured wheelchair and standing categories, thanks to advocates’ efforts. Participants showed exceptional determination, emphasizing unity in diversity. Despite challenging weather, they demonstrated the power of community support, highlighting the need for accessibility and inclusion in all state-level events in Goa.

Following the marathon, a gathering of differently-abled individuals, predominantly wheelchair users, convened for a celebratory lunch at Barzilla. The event, orchestrated by Mr. Shariq Khan and Mr. Zain Aftab, proprietors of Barzilla, honored the birthday of Sadaf Fatima, who also uses a wheelchair and is Mr. Shariq Khan’s wife.

 

The lunch featured esteemed guests including the Tourism Minister of Goa, MLA Rohan Khaunte of Porvorim, Social Welfare Minister Subhash Phal Desai, and the State Commissioner for Persons with Disability in Goa, Guruprasad Pawaskar. The event was impeccably hosted by Ms. Falak Fatima and Mr. Adarsh Parashar, offering activities such as Karaoke and Billiards.
