USHA BELTRON LTD Vs. BIHAR STATE ELECTRICITY BOARD

JUDGEMENT

(1.) By this common judgment, we propose to dispose of all these appeals.

(2.) These appeals are directed against the judgment dated 30/03/2001 passed by the learned Single Judge of this Court. Broadly speaking, four issues arose for consideration in the writ petitions filed by the appellants-petitioners which resulted in passing the aforesaid judgment. These four issues may be summarised as under :-

(3.) The Division Bench judgment dated 26/06/2000 has admittedly been challenged in the Supreme Court by both the parties. Admittedly the Supreme Court has since granted Leave and the Appeals are stated to be pending for hearing there. Our attention was invited to various orders passed by the Supreme Court, specially the order dated 8/12/2000 whereby their Lordships of the Supreme Court were pleased not to grant any interim order in the Special Leave Petitions (converted into appeals) filed by the Board and the consumers as well.
