Facts of the Case
Background
The applicant, a manufacturing company, sought an urgent order to restore its electricity connection after disconnection due to non-payment of a USD 189,535 electricity bill. The applicant claimed it was wrongly billed in foreign currency as it is not an exporter, while the respondent argued the bill arose from a 2019 Secure Power Supply Agreement requiring foreign currency payment for dedicated electricity supply imported from South Africa.
