Decision with Reasons
We have carefully gone through the petition of complaint filed by the Complainants. Complainants did not file any evidence in this record.
On 02/02/2023 Complainants were absent without any steps. They were asked to file Show Cause by 20/03/2023 as to why necessary order shall not be passed against them.
On 20/03/2023 case was adjourned due to resolution of the Local Bar and next date was fixed on 24/05/2023 for filing Show Cause by the Complainants. On that date Complainants were also absent without any steps and next date was fixed on 13/07/2023 for filing Show Cause by the Complainants.
On 13/07/2023 Complainants did not take any steps. Next date was fixed on 16/10/2023.
Complainants also did not take any steps on 16/10/2023.
It is the allegation of the Complainant that O.Ps forcibly entered into their premises and disconnected the two service connections which stand in the name of Complainant No. 1 and Complainant No. 2.
In support of his allegations he produced Xerox copies of some documents. But curious enough that Complainant did not file original copies of those documents, the reason best known to him.
Without perusing the original documents we are unable to come to a decision whether O.Ps illegally disconnected the aforesaid two service connections or not.
Having regard to the aforesaid discussion it is clear before us that Complainants have not able to establish their grievance by sufficient evidence beyond reasonable doubt and Complainants are not entitled to any relief as per their prayer.
In the result, present case fails.
Hence ,
It is ordered,
That the present case vide no. C.C./205/2022 be and the same is dismissed on contest against the O.Ps but without any order as to costs.
Let a plain copy of this order be given to the parties free of cost as per CPR, 2005.
