    Case Summary: Eden Cold Storage Pvt. Ltd. v. APDCL (WA/203/2026) The Gauhati High Court dismissed Eden Cold Storage's appeal challenging an unauthorized electricity use assessment under the Electricity Act, 2003. The court held that using an industrial electricity connection for warehouse/godown activities by tenants constituted unauthorized use, rejecting the appellant's argument that MSME notification classifications override statutory electricity tariff conditions. The court found the assessment legally valid, noting the appellant's own request for load segregation acknowledged regulatory approval was needed, and that subsequent MSME registration in 2021 could not retroactively validate electricity usage from 2016. The appellate authority's decision to reduce the assessment period was upheld as equitable relief. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
