FORUM OF REGULATORS (FOR)
VENUE
SUNDARBANS
KOLKATA
(WEST BENGAL).
DATES
Deputy Chief (RA), CERC briefed the Members about the action taken
on the decisions of the last meeting. The Forum noted and endorsed the
minutes of the 34th Meeting of FOR held at New Delhi on 09th January, 2013 as
circulated. After brief discussion, the minutes were confirmed.
PROPOSAL
FOR
SETTING
UP
REGULATORY RESEARCH INSTITUTE
(RRI) / INSTITUTE OF CHARTERED
REGULATORY ANALYST (PROPOSAL
OF MERC).
Deputy Chief (RA), CERC also presented a brief account of the proposal
of FOIR for setting up of Regulatory Research Institute (RRI) (Annexure-IV),
highlighting inter alia the objective for such an institute. He also informed that
FOIR had already invited Expression of Interest (EOI) from reputed academic
and research institutes for housing the institute in its initial phase. It was also
2
informed that the Governing Body of the FOIR was likely to meet shortly to
consider the proposals received so far from two institutes. The Forum discussed
the issues in detail. After discussion, the following was agreed
The need for Regulatory Research Institute was endorsed by the Forum.
The Chairperson MERC and other Regulatory Commissions as decided
by Chairperson FOR may be invited as special invitee(s) to the FOIR
Governing Body meeting and a common approach on the issue be
evolved.
STATUS OF IMPLEMNTATION OF
APTEL SUO-MOTU ORDER ON OP NO.1
OF 2011 ON TARIFF REVISION BY
SERCs and JERCs.
RLDC or SLDC to impose penalty as this does not go with the role
assigned to these institutions. Further, the principle of natural justice
demands that any person being imposed penalty must be given an
opportunity of being heard. The matters involving imposing of penalty
are adjudicatory in nature and the law generally defines the process of
adjudication of disputes. Provision of appeal is also provided. The
proposed amendment does not take care of these factors.
Section 34 (Grid Standards) - The Forum felt that the proposal of this
amendment was redundant and should be dropped.
Section 94 (Powers of Appropriate Commission) - The Forum felt that
the provision should be worded in such a way as to include inter alia that
the Appropriate Commission shall have all the powers of a civil court
including the power of execution. Proposed clause (5) was not
considered necessary and could be deleted. The Ministry could consider
amendment to provide that non-compliance of orders of the Appropriate
Commission would be treated as contempt of court.
142 (Punishment for non-compliance of direction by Appropriate
Commission) - The Forum endorsed the proposal to enhance the
penalties under section 142 and the proposal of treating the order of the
Commission as a decree of the Civil Court However, the proposal of
conferring on the appropriate Government and Central Electricity
Authority the powers to impose penalties was not considered desirable
and appropriate. The Act assigns the role of facilitator to the appropriate
Government and the role of technical advisor to the Central Electricity
Authority. The power to impose penalties for violation of the provisions
of the Act, rules and regulations made there-under and the directions of
the Commission are conferred on the Appropriate Commission. Section
5
142 talks about the rules and regulations made under the Act in general.
Therefore, a mechanism already exists to impose penalties for noncompliance of the rules made by the appropriate Government and the
regulations made by the Central Electricity Authority. Imposition of
penalty is an adjudicatory process and proper procedures are required to
be followed and there should be a provision for appeal. The proposed
amendment does not envisage all such requirements.
Section 143 (Power to adjudicate) - The proposed Clause (3) may be
amended as "(3) The adjudicating officer.(1) impose the penalty shall
take a decision under sub-section (2)".
146 (Punishment for non-compliance of orders or directions) : The
Forum did not endorse the proposed amendment. The Forum felt that
instead of this, the amendment should provide that non-compliance of
the orders or directions of the Appropriate Commission would be treated
as contempt of court.
The Forum did not endorse the amendments/inclusion proposed in
Section 178 (Powers of Central Commission to make regulations) and
Section 181 (Power of State Commissions to make regulations) in
view of the observations in the context of sections 29 and 33.
