Shri Sudip Majumder- President-in-charge.
Complainant files hazira through his Ld. Advocate. Complainant is also present himself.
Today is fixed for admission hearing. Perused the complaint and documents. It appears to us that a prima case has been made out against the OP/WBSEDCL. Let, the case be admitted.
Complainant files requisites.
Issue summon/notice accordingly. B.C. to do the needful.
On the date of filing of this case, the complainant files another application U/S 38 of the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 for seeking interim relief is taken up for hearing and treating the same as M.A. Case No. 31/2023.
Perused the interim application and documents. Heard Ld. Advocate on behalf of complainant.
We find from the interim application and document that the complainant has an electric service connection in his submersible pump being Consumer ID No. 500812830 under the OP. Complainant submits that he took electric line for their livelihood purpose. Complainant has been paying electric bill regularly except the outstanding bills amount of Rs. 12,069.10/-, Rs. 7,431.35/-, Rs. 3,827.20/- and 12,069.10/- dated 05/03/2021, 02/04/2021, 03/05/2021 and 26/02/2022 respectively which is an exorbitant bill out of this the complainant paid Rs. 10,000/- vide receipt No. 126804612099 as on dated 22/03/2021.
OP is threatening the complainant to disconnect the service connection in their SMP premises if he does not pay the entire outstanding electricity bill.
At present the complainant is not able to pay the outstanding electricity bill which is exorbitant. Thus the complainant prays for an ad-interim order to restrain the OP to disconnect the service connection.
In this juncture without going into the merit of the case we think electricity is most essential part of the human life in present day situation. Moreover, the complainants are depending upon the present electric line for their livelihood.
We think ends of justice would be met up if the OP is directed not to disconnect the service connection of the complainant.
Hence, it is,
ORDERED,
the petition dated 16/08/2023 filed by the complainant for not to disconnect his electric connection i.e. M.A. Case No. 31/2023 is allowed without contest. No cost.
The OP/WBSEDCL is directed not to disconnect the electricity service connection in his submersible pump being Consumer ID No. 500812830 of the complainant. OP is also directed to issue bill month by month/quarterly as per proper meter reading without generating the challenged bill or outstanding bill.
The complainant also directed to pay the current bill month by month/quarterly in respect of this service connection.
Thus the M.A. is disposed of.
Fix. 10/10/2023 for S/R appearance and W/V from/by the OP side.
Copy of this order be supplied to the parties each at free of cost.
