methodology adopted by Tamil Nadu generation and distribution corporation (Tangedco) for calculating power consumption charges during the period of COVID-19 lockdown from March 25, when meter readings could not be noted down. Justices M.M. Sundresh and R. Hemalatha rejected the case filed by M.L. Ravi of Desiya Makkal Sakthi Katchi and held that the methodology was “reasonable and justified”. They agreed with Additional Advocate General P.H. Arvindh Pandian that “any other methodology, especially the one suggested by the petitioner, would not ensure equality.”
