3. When the case was taken up on 24/01/2014, nobody appeared on behalf of appellant. Today again nobody appears on behalf of appellant.
4. From the said order, disposing off the appeal, it appears that on merits also, the finding of District Forum was upheld.
5. The appellant himself has said that if there is any doubt about the accuracy of the meter, provisions have been made under the electricity laws in that regard.
6. In the case reported in, 2013(4) JBCJ page 39 (SC), UP Power Corporation Ltd ors vs. Anis Ahmed,  the Hon’ble Supreme Court has held that the nature of dispute involved in this case is beyond the jurisdiction of the consumer forum.
7. In any view of the matter, the petition filed on 06/08/13 is absolutely misconceived and is liable to be dismissed. Accordingly it is dismissed. Issue free copy of this order to all concerned for information and needful.
