We have heard learned counsel for the parties on the prayer for interim relief. We are not inclined to grant any interim relief at this stage. However, in view of the statement made by Mr. P.S. Patwalia, learned Senior Counsel on instructions from Ms. Liz Mathew, Advocate that even if the orders of the Regulatory Commission are fully implemented, the appellants would only have to pay tariff at the rate of less than Rs.5/ per unit, the appellants are directed that they will continue to make the payment on the basis of the tariff now fixed by the Regulatory Commission. This payment, however, will be subject to the final decision of the appeals. In case the appeals are ultimately allowed, the necessary adjustment will be made in accordance with law.

In the meantime, there shall be stay of further proceedings in Contempt Case No.1673 of 2013 initiated by M/s Clarion Power Corporation Limited pending on the file of the High Court of Andhra Pradesh at Hyderabad.
