1.2. However, the State is also entitled to change or alter the economic policies. Appellants do not have any 8 vested right to enjoy the concessions granted to them forever, particularly when the Board is constituted and incorporated under the provisions of Electricity (Supply) Act, 1948. Any policy decision adopted by the State would not be binding on the Board, save and except provided C for in the Act. The Board being an independent entity, the duties and functions of the Board vis-a-vis the State are enumerated in the Act. The Board, however, would be bound by any direction issued by the State Government on questions of policy. A dispute which may arise as to D whether a question is or not a question of policy involving public interest, Central Government is the final arbiter. The policy decision adopted by the State on the basis whereof the Board felt obligated to grant electrical connection in favour of the appellants on the basis of indusE trial tariff must, therefore, be understood in the context of s.78A of the 1948 Act. What is binding on the Board is the policy of the State. The direction of the State was to apply a particular category of tariff to the appellants. Such directions could have been withdrawn while making anF other tariff. [Para 16) (764-F,G, 765-A,B,C]
