Complainant states that he has no electric meter in the above reason, complainant made an application for new connection to the CESC Ltd. in June 2012 upon payment of necessary application fees of Rs.200/-. Complainant states that the CESC Ltd. issued a letter to the complainant on 5.7.12 and states that due to getting supply from another meter they are unable to give new supply to the complainant.

            Complainant further states that he then several time went to CESC Ltd. office and briefly discuss about urgency of meter, but no action taken by o.ps. and complainant has no meter. Hence the case was filed by the complainant with the prayer contained in the petition of complaint.

            O.ps. had entered their appearance in this case by filing w/v and denied all the material allegations labeled against them and prayed for dismissal of the case.
