This appeal of un-successful complainants is against the order dated August 18^th, 2015 passed by District Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum, Sonipat (for short ‘the District Forum’) whereby complaint was dismissed.

2.      Jagdev Singh and his sons-complainant/appellants were having electric connection for irrigating their land wherein they have planted garden. They filed complaint before the District Forum averring that the respondent/opposite party has disconnected the electric connection by removing jumper from the electric transformer from which they were getting electricity to run the tubewell for irrigating the garden and as such their garden damaged.

3.      The respondent/opposite party contested complaint by filing reply stating therein that an application was given by Gram Panchayat for disconnecting the supply from the above said line temporarily for few days because due to sparking in the electric wires, incidents of fire usually take place. Denying any kind of deficiency in service, it was prayed that the complaint be dismissed.

4.      It is admitted case of the parties that the electric supply was disconnected temporarily by removing jumper for a short period in view of the application submitted by Gram Panchayat. It has also come on the record that the electric supply was restored after harvesting the crop. Thus, the action was taken by the opposite party in the larger public interest of the farmers and this act of the appellant/opposite party cannot be termed as deficiency in service. So, no ground to interfere with the order of the District Forum is made out.

5.      Hence, the appeal is dismissed.
