ORDER

Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the record. Petitioner filed revision petition against the impugned order dated 05-11-2007 passed by learned State Commission by which while dismissing appeal, order of District Forum allowing complaint and quashing demand of Rs.20,000/- raised by opposite party-petitioner was upheld. This complaint pertains to offence committed u/s 135 Indian Electricity Act and against the assessment made by assessment officer for the theft of electricity. In the light of judgment passed by Honle Apex Court in Civil Appeal No. 5466 of 2012 .P. Power Corporation Ltd. & Ors. Vs. Anis Ahmad this complaint is not maintainable before District Forum under Consumer Protection Act. Consequently, revision petition filed by the petitioner is allowed and impugned order dated 05-11-2007 passed by learned State Commission in First Appeal No. 455/2007 is set aside and complaint stands dismissed. Liberty is granted to the respondent to seek appropriate remedy available to him before the appropriate forum.
