The High Court on Thursday directed the government to make all the power plants fully operational. The bench of Justice Farah Mahbub and Justice Debasish Roy Chowdhury ordered that all power plants become operational immediately in the interest of the people and the economy.
Responding to a writ petition, the court also declared sections of the quick rental law that prevented legal challenges "unconstitutional".
Sections 9 and 6(2) of the Quick Enhancement of Electricity and Energy Supply (Special Provisions) Act 2010 protect rental and quick rental power plants from legal challenges and give the energy minister the sole authority to approve electricity purchase plans.
