In OIVGC Ltd (2022 (g) SCC 596)' the Hon"ble Apex Court reaffirmed that even non slgnatorles may be bound by contractual terms if they have derived benefit or participate in performance o[ the contract' In view of the above, petitioners' contention that there is no privity of contract between them and the DISCOM, hence the demand notices shall be set aside, is rejected. The contention that demand notices are time-barrecl uncler Section 56(2) of the Act has no legs to stand as the order of APERC has been upheld b1' the Honble Supreme Court only on 29.11.2019 anci the demand notices were issued in 2000 and 2001 [n any event, the Honble Supreme Court in Rahmatullqh's case interpretecl Section 56(2) of the Act. Hence this Court holds that demand notices arc nol harred by limilal ion. Further, petitioners have rrot come to the Court with clean hands as thel' have suppressed the agreement between them and the gcnerators which has not seen the light of the day Even when this Court askecl learned counsel for petitioners to produce the copy of the agreement, the! have not done so far' Petitioners have ttdt filtd '"y'. rejoinders rebutting the contents of counter affidavit that petitioners were being bitlect the rvheeling charges all these years' hence the diflerence of the wheeling charges as adjudicated by the APERC shall also be patd b'- Petitioners onlY. Petitioners have raised several questions of fact which cannot be adjudicated by this CoLlrt under Articl'e 226 ot tl:,e Constitution ot India. For all the above reasons, the Writ Petitions fail and are accordinglr', dismissed. No costs"' 71 4 In view of the said order, these Wr t Petitions are also dismissed. No costs.
