ORDER

 

            When this petition was taken up for hearing today, it was noticed that the PSEB has filed a supplementary petition today taking up new and totally different grounds. It was conceded by the PSEB before us today that in the original petition, the State Government is a necessary party although they have not been impleaded.  As per the original petition and the supplementary petition, the purchase of additional power involves huge additional financial liability but no details of the same have been indicated in these petitions. Furthermore, no mention has been made regarding the sale of the additional power, the additional revenue expected therefrom, the net additional revenue gap which might result from these transactions and how this additional revenue gap is proposed to be met by the Board. When these flaws were pointed out to the PSEB, they agreed to withdraw these two petitions and file a fresh petition thereafter.  It is accordingly ordered that these petitions be treated as withdrawn with permission to the Board to file a fresh petition.
