casestatus.in Summary

The Supreme Court held that use of premises for running a guest house constitutes commercial use, not domestic use, and therefore NDMC is entitled to charge electricity at commercial rates. The Court reasoned that the character of the owner's purpose in using the premises—providing temporary accommodation to guests for payment—is commercial in nature, distinguishing it from purely private residential use. The High Court's judgment in favor of the landlord was set aside and NDMC's appeal was allowed. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
