U.P.S.E.B. vs NAGINA SAHKARI KATAI MILLS LTD. — C.A. No. 7970/2001

Case Summary: U.P.S.E.B. v. Sant Kabir Sahakari Katai Mills Ltd. (C.A. 7965/2001) The Supreme Court reversed the Allahabad High Court's direction to resolve disputes between the Uttar Pradesh State Electricity Board (UPSEB) and cooperative mill societies through a government committee. The Court held the High Court erred in equating cooperative societies with public sector undertakings without factual basis, making the ONGC precedent inapplicable. The case involved electricity billing disputes and alleged failure to provide uninterrupted supply despite higher charges; the Court remitted the matter for fresh High Court consideration, clarifying that committee resolution procedures apply only if parties prove the mills qualify as public sector undertakings.
