Madras High Court Dismisses Infosys's Plea Challenging ₹6.7 Crore Demand By TANGEDCO
Criminal Law
The Madras High Court dismissed Infosys' petition against TANGEDCO's demand for approximately 6.7 crores as Shortfall Amount/Adjustment charges. Justice GK Ilanthiraiyan ruled that TANGEDCO's demand wasn't barred by limitation, citing Section 56(2) of the Electricity Act. \r
Infosys argued it wasn't engaged in commercial activity, thus not liable for commercial tariff. However, the court found that Infosys leased its premises to service providers and benefited financially. Additionally, the court noted Infosys engaged in both software development and Information Technology Enabled Service. \r
Therefore, it upheld TANGEDCO's order, concluding Infosys must adhere to the higher tariff. Counsel for Infosys: Mr. Jose John. Counsel for TANGEDCO: Mr. P. Wilson, Senior Counsel. Case Title: Infosys Limited v The Superintending Engineer, TANGEDCO. (2024 LiveLaw (Mad) 212).
