BEFORE
HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE DEVASHIS BARUAH
ORDER
Date : 03.02.2026
Mr. S. Bose, DGM (Commercial & Revenue), APDCL is present
and he has explained to this Court as regards the various
parameters how Clause 7.4.2(iii)(1) of the Assam Electricity
Page No.# 5/5
Regulatory Commission (Electricity Supply Code) Regulations,
2017 applies.
2. This Court, however, enquired with Mr. S. Bose, DGM
(Commercial & Revenue), APDCL, as to how, the period i.e.
variable 'N' is to be ascertained by the Assessing Officer.
Whether it is on the basis of the monthly bills provided to the
consumer, wherein an over-drawal penalty is reflected and
whether it would be permissible to take into account any gap
period in the bills so submitted to the consumer to calculate the
entire period.
3. The hearing, however, remained inconclusive on the said
aspect.
4. Accordingly, this Court fixes this matter again on 10.03.2026
at 2.00 P.M.
