    Case Summary: AO-COM/28/2026 Court Decision: The High Court at Calcutta partially allowed Haldia Development Authority's appeal, modifying the lower court's injunction order. The court distinguished between fixed license fees (Rs. 24 crores annually, undisputed) and incremental revenue sharing (65.5% of water sales above baseline), restricting the injunction to only incremental revenue claims, not fixed license fees. Key Reasoning: The trial judge erred by restraining deductions of fixed license fees, which the respondent (water company) never disputed. The court found the dispute centered solely on the appellant's January 2026 claim for incremental revenue on unrealized water charges without compensating for consumer defaults under the concession agreement's Article 13.5. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
