HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE B.N. KARIA
Date : 15/06/2021
ORAL ORDER
(PER : HONOURABLE DR. JUSTICE VINEET KOTHARI) Both the parties may take instructions whether the dispute of average charges before the Power Supply Company and the Consumer Educational Institution can be referred to the Mediation Center as a commercial dispute for amicable settlement even at this stage because the Appellate Authority of the Department was in favour of the Consumer whereas, the Learned Single Judge has set aside that order and restored the Assessment Order in favour of the Company.
The Consumer Educational Institution is in appeal before us. We are, prima facie, of the opinion that an amicable settlement in such cases can be arrived at between the parties. However, both the learned Counsels may take instructions from their respective clients Page 1 of 2 Downloaded on : Wed Jun 16 23:02:22 IST 2021 C/LPA/40/2017 ORDER DATED: 15/06/2021 SHREE VITTHALPRABHU EDUCATION AND CHARITABLE TRUST Vs.
