Quick Summary: On December 4, 2025, the Delhi High Court decided that no forceful actions can be taken against Udupi Kasargode Transmission Limited until December 11, 2025. This decision comes amidst ongoing legal proceedings involving the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) and others.
Udupi Kasargode Transmission Limited filed a request in the Delhi High Court. They were worried about possible forceful actions by several parties, including the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC).
The company had previously approached the CERC, but their request was considered too early. They were told to come back after finishing their project. On September 1, 2025, CERC gave them temporary protection.
"The said request was too early... allowed Udupi Kasargode Transmission Limited to come back to the CERC, after they finish the project."
Karnataka DISCOMS challenged the CERC's decision in the Appellate Tribunal for Electricity (APTEL). On December 1, 2025, APTEL canceled the CERC's decision and asked them to look at it again.
With no temporary protection from APTEL, Udupi Kasargode asked for protection from the Delhi High Court. They argued that their case wasn't scheduled for a hearing in December 2025 by the CERC.
Justice Mini Pushkarna, overseeing the case, recognized Udupi Kasargode Transmission Limited's request for temporary protection until the CERC hears their case. The court allowed them to bring up the matter to the CERC on December 9 or 11, 2025.
"Udupi Kasargode Transmission Limited is allowed to bring up the matter before the CERC on 09th December, 2025."
The court ruled that no forceful actions should be taken against Udupi Kasargode Transmission Limited until December 11, 2025.
"No forceful actions or steps shall be taken against Udupi Kasargode Transmission Limited till 11th December, 2025."
This decision gives temporary relief to Udupi Kasargode Transmission Limited while they wait for further proceedings with the CERC.
