2013 CLC 141 ISLAMABAD Judicial Precedent
Ss. 7(6) & 31(2)Constitution of Pakistan, Art.199Constitutional petitionPowers and functions of Regulatory AuthorityScopeProtection of interest of consumersScopeElectricity billsFuel Adjustment ChargesLevy and demand of such charges in electricity bills as arrears with retrospective effectLegality

Electric Power Regulatory Authority was under a statutory obligation to protect the interest of consumers as well, instead of allowing the power distribution companies to raise demand of Fuel Adjustment Charges in a mechanical fashion

Scope and levy of Fuel Adjustment Charges could not be expanded and had to remain within the variations in the prices of fuel

High Court declared levy and demand of Fuel Adjustment Charges as arrears with retrospective effect as unconstitutional and against the applicable law and principles of natural justice

Power distribution companies were directed to issue amended bills and in case consumers had already paid the bills in question, then to adjust excessive amount received accordingly in the bills of coming months

Constitutional petition was allowed accordingly.
