As per the case facts, a power project sought benefits under a government policy from the date the policy was announced. However, lower courts determined that benefits should only apply ... from the date the project officially received the status. The appeal challenged these decisions, arguing for earlier applicability of the benefits. The question arose whether the benefits of a major power policy applied from the date of its announcement or from the date of formal approval for a project. Finally, the Supreme Court agreed with the lower courts. It ruled that the benefits of the power policy begin only when the official status is granted, not from the date it was publicly announced. The Court stated that a press release announcing the policy was not considered a legally binding law.
