From the headnote

Orissa Electricity Reform Act, 1995: s.14(iv) - Provisional licence issued by State Government in exercise of power under s. 14(iv) - Words "charges made by the licencee not to exceed on average 117% of those permitted under the interim tariffs in force on 1.4.1996" used in Clause 9. 1 of the licence - Correct interpretation of - Held: The use of the words "charges made by the licencee" and the words "shall not exceed on average 117%" necessarily indicates that the rates fixed by the licencee should not result in an increase in realization or revenue in excess- of 17% of what it would have
