He was regularly paying the bill. But, inspite of payment, the staffs of Opposite Parties disconnect the electric line to the Bore-well of the Complainant on Dt.29/06/2006. Several request was made by the Complainant for reconnection of the line, to save his Sugar cane crop.

The Complainant also made his grievance to the Sugarcane Office of Bhatli Branch, on Dt.07/07/2006, District Magistrate and Collector and O.I.C., Bhatli on Dt.10/07/2006 in the matter to take necessary action.<br /> <br /> Inspite of repeated approach made by the Complainant for reconnection of line to the dug well to save the Sugar cane crop, the Opposite Parties did not listen to the request of the Complainant, thereby the crop got completely damaged and sustained a loss of Rs.78,000/-(Rupees seventy eight thousand)only for the negligence act of the Opposite Parties.<br /> <br /> The Complainant claims a sum of Rs.1,09,900/-(Rupees one lakh nine thousand nine hundred)only for the loss and mental agony sustained by the Complainant for the deficiency in service by the Opposite Parties.<br /> <br /> The Opposite Parties in their version admit to fact of the Complainant being a consumer of the Opposite Parties and power was supplied to his motor pump from the transformer at village Tejagola installed by the Opposite Parties. The other allegation by the Complainant in his complaint petition are categorically denied by the Opposite Parties.<br /> <br /> The contend that, the Complainant is not a regular payee consumer and was defaulted in payment of electric dues on several occasion. The Opposite Parties or their staff have never disconnected the power supply and there was continuous supply of energy to the Bore-well of the Complainant.
