Swaminathan, J. observed that a law member is required to be on the bench of the commission during adjudicatory matters, but, presence is not mandatory for matters involving quasi-judicial functions, however, in the present case, the Court also took note of the ruling in <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">State of Gujarat v.

Utility Users Welfare Association, <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/KfGGr0wL\">(2018) 6 SCC 21<\/a>, wherein it was held that the determination of tariff is a regulatory function, thus, it observed that tariff fixation is not an adjudicatory function. The Court even clarified that despite the above observation of the Supreme Court being the obiter dicta and not a ratio decidendi, it will be binding on the High Court. It rejected the petitioner&#8217;s contention that tariff fixation is adjudicatory function, and held that <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">\u201csince it is not an adjudicatory function, there is no bar for the Bench comprising the present Chairman and the technical Member to hear the tariff petitions\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-indent: 18pt; margin-bottom: 3%;\">However, the Court reiterated <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">State of Gujarat v. Utility Users Welfare Association,<\/span> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink\/KfGGr0wL\">(2018) 6 SCC 21<\/a> , that there must be a member with legal background in the Commission and it cannot be ignored, hence, it restrained the Commision from passing final order on the aforementioned tariff petitions, despite it being a regulatory function, till a law Member is appointed and allowed the present proceedings to continue, by stating that <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">\u201ceverything can be finalized by the Commission as now constituted except the formal declaration of the orders on the tariff petitions.
