Supreme Court Sides with Adani Power in Coal Levy Dispute

Supreme Court Sides with Adani Power in Coal Levy Dispute

Imagine a company that sells electricity to the government.

They made an agreement, like a contract, to sell electricity at a certain price.

Then, the government decided that a company that provides coal would charge extra for transporting it.

Adani Power said this new charge should be paid by the government because it changed the original agreement.

The Supreme Court agreed, saying the power company should get money to cover the new cost, making sure they don't lose money.

The court found that the new coal charge was a 'change in law' which meant the government should pay for it.
