ORDER NO. 10 DT. 17.6.10

HON'BLE JUSTICE MR. A.CHAKRABARTI, PRESIDENT

This is an Appeal against order dt. 5.11.2009 passed by DCDRF, Murshidabad, in Case No. CC/07/2008 whereby the complaint case was dismissed.  The complainant has preferred the present Appeal and his contention is that the OPs have failed to continue electricity supply, which caused loss to the complainant and in the circumstances, the complainant could not pay the dues to the OPs on account of electricity consumption.    As regards deficiency in service on account of insufficiency of electricity supply causing loadshading, no effective case has been made out and, therefore, this aspect is not being considered here.  The only contention raised by the Ld. Advocate for the Complainant/Appellant is that the complainant has showed bonafide paying half of the amount due and, therefore, there is deficiency in service on part of the OPs in not restoring the electricity supply to the complainant.  We are unable to agree with the said contention as in case of keeping the dues unpaid if disconnection takes place and no restoration of supply is made, the OPs cannot be blamed on the ground of deficiency in service.  We do not find any ground for interference with the impugned order and the same is hereby affirmed.  The Appeal is dismissed.
