CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION

CIVIL APPEAL NO. 9291/2015

NORTH KARANPURA TRANSMISSION CO. LTD. ...APPELLANT

VERSUS

CENTRAL ELECTRICITY REGULATORY COMMISSION & ORS. ...RESPONDENTS

WITH

CIVIL APPEAL NO. 13370/2015

ORDER

1. We have heard the learned counsels for the parties. Having regard to the subject matter involved we are of the view that the refusal of interim relief by the learned Appellate Tribunal for Electricity, New Delhi (for short "the Appellate Tribunal"), in the facts of the case, was not justified as such refusal would have rendered the appeal pending before it virtually infructuous.

2. Accordingly, we grant interim relief as prayed for by the appellant before us (as well as before the learned Appellate Tribunal) and request the learned Appellate Tribunal to decide the appeal itself as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order.

3. The appeals are disposed of in the above terms.
