Mujit, praying for a direction upon the o.p. no. 1, Station Manager, WBSEDCL, and another to install new electric meter in the house of the petitioner at Unsani Garpa, P.O. Unsani, P.S. Jagacha, District Howrah, and compensation for Rs. 3,000/- for mental agony and Rs. 2,000/- as litigation costs.

2. The case of the petitioner is that he applied for installation of new electric connection in the above holding of the petitioner on 28.6.2014 and after inspection the o.p. sent quotation on 25.7.2014 and as per quotation the petitioner deposited the security deposit and energy charges amounting to Rs. 1,088/- but the o.p. did not install the new electric meter even though the petitioner requested them for a number of times. Electricity being essential, the o.p. cannot deny the same and so the petitioner filed this case.

3. The o.p. WBSEDCL though served with notice did not appear in the case and thus the case is heard ex parte against them.
