ORDER
The
petitioner has filed this petition under Article 226 of the
Constitution of India with a prayer to quash and set aside the
letter the letter dated 14.7.2007 at Annexure-A as null and void
with a further direction to the respondents not to implement the
said letter.
Mr.Baxi,
learned counsel for the petitioner, submits that the action of the
respondent authority in initiating the recovery of Rs.1,09,107/-
from the petitioner-consumer, is contrary to the provisions of
sub-section (2) of Section 56 of the Indian Electricity Act, 2003.
Mr.K.B.Pujara,
learned counsel appearing for the respondent No.1, relies on the
affidavit filed by respondent No.1 and submits that against the
petitioner? consumer recovery proceedings are initiated and an
amount of Rs.1,09,107/- is outstanding towards the consumption of
electricity charges and there is no prohibition under sub-section
(2) of Section 56 of the Act since the amount is continuously due
and recoverable as arrears and charges of electricity supplied. In
view of the above, I do not find any substance in the petition, more
particularly, when the Civil Suit is pending before the City Civil
Court, Ahmedabad.
In
the result, this Special Civil Application fails and is hereby
dismissed. Notice discharged.
