Electricity Act, 2003

Madhya Pradesh High Court (Division Bench (DB)- Two Judge)

WRIT PETITION, 13257 of 2017, Judgment Date: Sep 05, 2017

The provisions of Special Economic Zones Act, 2005 will not have overriding effect over the provision of the Electricity Act, 2003 or for that matter the Indian Telegraph Act, 1885, as they are not inconsistent with the provisions of the Special Economic Zones Act, 2005 as none of the provisions of the SEZ Act deal with the erection of transmission lines which is part of the Electricity Act read with Telegraph Act. Therefore, it cannot be said that the provisions of erection of transmission lines as contained in Electricity Act read with the Telegraph Act are not applicable in respect of the land of the petitioner for which it has been granted letter of approval under the Act.
