O R D E R
The present contempt petitions are filed by the petitioner
alleging wilful disobedience of the decision of this Court dated
10.12.2021 in Civil Appeal Nos.5074-5075/2019 by which this Court
affirmed the order passed by the Appellate Tribunal holding that
the respondents therein are not liable to pay the additional
surcharge. It is the case on behalf of the applicant(s) that
despite the levy of additional surcharge has been set aside by this
Court, the respondent/Distribution Company has issued the
bill/demand for the month of November, 2021, demanding additional
surcharge which has been set aside by this Court. One another
grievance which is voiced is that despite the specific
observation/direction by this Court in para 16 of the judgment and
order dated 10.12.2021 that the additional surcharge already
recovered from the captive consumers/captive users shall be
adjusted in the future wheeling charges bills, the same has not
been implemented and the same has not been given credit and/or
adjusted in the future bills.
