"Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission (DERC) is the right fora. You raise the plea there," a bench of Chief Justice G Rohini and Justice Pradeep Nandrajog said while disposing of the PIL on the issue.
Earlier, the bench had asked DERC to file its response as to whether it has complied with its own formula and procedures in permitting the discoms to raise power tariff under the head of PPAC costs.
The court was hearing the PIL filed by Madhuresh Lakhaiyar who has alleged DERC, acting in collusion with the discoms, had permitted them to increase Power Purchase Cost Adjustment Charges (PPAC) costs.
