Final Order / Judgement

Complainant  is absent. None present on his behalf to argue the case.

          Perused the record. This case is pending for hearing on admission since  05-12-2019 and the complainant  is regularly absent since 28-12-2019.

          This case has been filed for correction of electricity bill and to direct the o.p for reconnection of electricity. The connection of the electricity of the complainant has been disconnected for not  paying electricity dues of Rs. 1,71,500/-. As per rule of Bihar Electricity Supply Code-2007 Section 4.1. there is provision that if there are arrears of electricity  dues on a premises, a new connection shall not be released to a new applicant /or the old Consumer on the same premises  if (i) the applicant (being in individual) is associate or relative (as defined in section-2  and 6 respectively  of the companies Act-1956 )of the defaulting Consumer, – (ii) or where the applicant being a company or body corporate or association or body of individuals, where incorporated  or not or artificial, judicial person, is controlled or having  controlling interest in the defaulting  consumer, provided, the licensee  shall not refuse electric connection on this ground, unless  an opportunity  to present his case is provided to the applicant and a reasoned order is passed by  an officer as  designated by the licensee.

          The complainant has filed last receipt 20-03-2018 of his electricity connection, which shows that electric connection was disconnected on 28-12-2018. So, it transpires that he has not paid the electricity Dues after March 2018. In the circumstances the case is not maintainable and the same is against the provision of the electricity code and hence  dismissed at admission stage itself.
