The Supreme Court has decided to reconsider its 2019 judgment, which affirmed Adani Power (Mundra’s) call to terminate the power purchase agreement (PPA) signed with Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam (GUVNL).
A five-judge bench, headed by chief justice of India NV Ramana, issued notices on a curative petition filed by GUVNL after noting that the plea raises significant questions of law. Apart from Adani Power (Mundra), notices have also gone to Gujarat Electricity Regulatory Commission (GERC) and an NGO, Consumer Education and Research Society.
“We have gone through the curative petition and the relevant documents. In our prima facie opinion, there are substantial questions of law raised in this curative petition, which require consideration. Issue notice,” stated the court’s order on September 16.
