At present, DVC is directly supplying electricity to more than 250 HT consumers Judgment of Appeal No.206 of 2015 in Damodar Valley area, including the Appellants.

…
state statutory objective to distance the Government from tariff regulation of utilitie
Tribunal was called upon to evaluate the legality of State Government directions to the State Commissions which interfered with the basic function of the Commission regarding determination of tariff without honouring fiscal obligation to pay subsidy upfront (Section 65).
In full bench judgment dated 31/01/2011 in Appeal No.4 of 2010 and batch, APTEL held that such policy directions of State Governments under Section 108 of the Electricity Act, 2003, curtailing the powers of the State Commission in the matter of determination of tariff were not binding on the State Commission. This view has since been also held by division benches of the Delhi and the Bombay High Courts.
Open access to the wires of transmission and distribution is an important provision of the Electricity Act, 2003 to provide an option to the consumer to meet its demand from alternate sources and not be hostage to the area distribution company.
In Appeal No.38 of 2013 an issue arose whether a consumer was liable to pay cross subsidy surcharge to the distribution company for availing power during the period when the distribution company was unable to supply power and had imposed power cut on the consumer.
The Tribunal by its judgment dated 01/08/2014 held that when the distribution company is failing to procure adequate power to meet its obligation to supply power to its consumers, there is no justification in imposing surcharge on the consumers who arrange power from alternate sources through open access. It was decided that surcharge is a compensatory charge and in the present case there is no loss to the distribution company due to the consumer taking power through open access.

In sync with the global consciousness on sustainable development and Indian policy, promotion of renewable sources of generation is one of the functions assigned to the State Commissions. They have power to specify Renewable Purchase Obligation (RPO) in the area of distribution company which they have been specifying without effective enforcement. State Commissions have been relaxing the RPO at the end of the year in business as usual scenario, thereby defeating the purpose of RPO mechanism. APTEL by order dated 20/04/2015 gave directions under section 121 to all State Commissions for strict compliance of the RPO as per their regulations.
Policy is Not Binding But only Guiding
The Commissions have to be guided by the Tariff Policy in specifying the terms and conditions of tariff under Section 61 of the Electricity Act. In Appeal 103 of 2012 a question arose whether the tariff policy is binding on the State Commission? The APTEL vide judgment dated 24/03/2015 held that if the Regulatory Commissions have to be independent and transparent bodies, they are expected to frame Regulations independently. They can taken guidance from National Electricity Policy or Tariff policy but are not bound by them. National Electricity Policy and Tariff Policy are merely guiding factors and do not control or limit the jurisdiction of the Appropriate Commission.
In a batch of appeals, certain traders and generators had challenged the vires of Central Commissions Regulations determining trading margin of electricity by way of delegated legislation (regulations). By judgement dated 28/01/2006, the APTEL dismissed the Appeals holding that its jurisdiction was restricted to the limits imposed by the Statute, i.e. the Electricity Act, 2003 APTEL held that the appropriate course of action for the appellants is to proceed by way of judicial review under the Constitution. In view of importance of the question, the matter was referred to a Constitution Bench of Hon’ble Supreme Court.The Constitution Bench upheld the Tribunal’s judgement – reported as [2010 (4) SCC 603].
