It is the case of he complainant that he was running a factory which was closed down on account of loss sustained. It was closed in the year 2000. In March, 2001 officials disconnected the electric connection and cash deposit was adjusted in the energy charges due. Consequently the opposite parties initiated revenue recovery and realized Rs.4412/- 3. The opposite parties filed version disputing the averments in the complaint. It is mentioned that total energy charges due as on the date of disconnection was 14240/-. The cash deposit of Rs.12515/- was adjusted and the balance was Rs.1735/-. The above amount with interest represents Rs.4412/- 4. We find that opposite parties have not adduced any evidence before the Forum. It was only the proof affidavit of the complainant and Ext.A1 and A2 documents that was before the Forum. In the circumstance the Forum has no option other than consider the case on the basis of the above evidence. The attempt to have the entire matter reconsidered at the appellate stage is to be deprecated. There is no reason mentioned as we find this is not a fit case to interfere.
