The High Court for the State of Telangana has upheld the conviction of a woman accused of stabbing her husband to death during a sudden domestic quarrel, but significantly reduced her punishment by setting aside the four-year jail sentence imposed by the trial court.

The case arose from the death of a man in Adilabad district, where the prosecution alleged that his wife, Reshma, stabbed him with a knife during daylight hours.

The High Court for the State of Telangana has upheld the conviction of a woman accused of stabbing her husband to death during a sudden domestic quarrel, but significantly reduced her punishment by setting aside the four-year jail sentence imposed by the trial court.

The case arose from the death of a man in Adilabad district, where the prosecution alleged that his wife, Reshma, stabbed him with a knife during daylight hours.

The Supreme Court has ruled that electricity consumers in Delhi cannot be forced to bear tariff charges for a power plant that stopped supplying electricity after March 2018. In a significant judgment, the Court set aside an order of the Appellate Tribunal for Electricity (APTEL) that had allowed Tata Power Delhi Distribution Limited (TPDDL) to recover the full capital cost of the Rithala gas-based power plant over 15 years.

The dispute arose from the Rithala Combined Cycle Power Plant in Delhi, established by TPDDL ahead of the 2010 Commonwealth Games to meet peak electricity demand. The project was approved as a temporary arrangement with an operational life of only five to six years.
