O R D E R

 

          Complainant has filed the present complaint against the respondent  alleging therein that he is having tubewell connection bearing no.K4-48 and due to the deficient/poor services, the complainant got disconnected the said connection after payment of all the dues.  In the year 2005, the complainant again applied for restoration of the said tubewell connection under RCO scheme and deposited Rs.30,000/- vide RP no.32378 with the respondent.  But till date, the said connection has not been restored by the respondent and that amounts to a grave deficiency in service on the part of the respondent. So, he has come to this Forum and has filed the present complaint.

2.        In reply, the respondent has submitted that as per provisions of the Nigam, there is no provision for restoration of the electricity supply and the complainant with his free will has got disconnected the electricity tubewell connection.  Now the complainant has to apply for a new tubewell connection.  So, there is no deficiency in service on the part of the respondent and thus, prayed for the dismissal of the present case.

3.        We have heard the arguments advanced by the learned counsel for both the parties at length.  All the documents have been perused very carefully and minutely.

          The complainant has filed the present complaint for restoration of his electricity tubewell connection which was got disconnected by him at his own.  But as per the complainant, he has deposited the required documents with the respondent and inspite of it, the respondent has not restored the electricity tubewell connection of the complainant till date.

          The complainant in support of his case has placed on record the documents Ex.C1 to C7.

          Ld. Counsel for the respondent has submitted that as per provisions of the Nigam, there is no provision for restoration of the electricity supply and the complainant with his free will has got disconnected the electricity tubewell connection.  Now the complainant has to apply for a new tubewell connection.  So, there is no deficiency in service on the part of the respondent.

          The respondent has placed on record the documents Ex.R1 to R11.

          But we find no force in the contentions of the ld. Counsel for the respondent because vide document Ex.R6, the respondent official has directed the complainant to deposit Fard Jamabandi and Aks shijra of the land where the tubewell connection is to be installed.  The complainant has deposited the same on dated 12.9.2008.  But till date the respondent has not restored the electricity tubewell connection of the complainant and that amounts to a grave deficiency in service on the part of the respondent. Accordingly, we allow the present complaint with the direction to the respondent to restore the electricity tubewell connection of the complainant within a period of one month from the date of passing of this order.

           With these observations, findings and directions, the present complaint stands allowed.

          Certified copy of this order be provided to both the parties free of cost.

File be consigned to the record-room.
