MSEB seeks rejection of DPC petition

MUMBAI, JUNE 9. The Maharashtra State Electricity Board (MSEB) today filed an affidavit in the Mumbai High Court seeking rejection of the Dabhol Power Company's (DPC) June 6 petition.

``In our affidavit we have prayed that the DPC's petition, challenging the jurisdiction of Maharashtra Electricity Regulatory Commission (MERC) should not be admitted and also denied all allegation made against the board,'' MSEB sources said.

The MSEB has contended that the DPC had acted ``in haste'' and it should have waited for the MERC to pass an order or atleast take a decision over jurisdiction on the June 14 hearing.
