PESHAWAR ELECTRIC SUPPLY COMPANY LTD. (PESCO) VS SS PLOYPROPYLENE (PVT.) LTD., PESHAWAR S. 31(4)---Constitution of Pakistan, Arts. 154(1) & 157(2)(d)---Electricity tariff, determination of---Domain of National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA), and not that of the Provincial Government or Council of Common Interest---Article 157(2)(d) of the Constitution is an enabling provision of the Constitution and therefore it does not make it mandatory for the Provincial Government to determine the rate of (electricity) tariff---Similarly it is not the responsibility of the Council of Common Interests ('CCI') to determine tariffs---Even if the CCI devises guidelines for the imposition of tariffs, the same cannot contradict the Regulation of Generation, Transmission and Distribution of Electric Power Act, 1997---Even if any Province legislates on the matter of electricity, the same would not only be against Part II of the Federal Legislative List, but, in the event of any provision of provincial law dealing with the subject being in conflict with federal law; provisions of the latter would prevail.
