Petitioner&#8217;s case<\/p>\n<p>is that petitioner is neither a subscriber nor a guarantor for payment<\/p>\n<p>of electricity dues. KSE Board has also no case to the contrary. On<\/p>\n<p>the other hand, learned standing counsel for the KSEB submits that<\/p>\n<p>petitioner had executed a consent agreement for giving connection<\/p>\n<p>to the tenant. The consent agreement itself does not involve any<\/p>\n<p>commitment for payment by the petitioner.          Therefore, recovery<\/p>\n<p>has to be made from the consumer.               This writ petition is,<\/p>\n<p>accordingly, allowed directing respondents to trace the consumer<\/p>\n<p>and disconnect domestic supply of such consumer and effect<\/p>\n<p>recovery through coercive steps, failing which recovery can be<\/p>\n<p>made from the concerned KSE Board officials, who gave connection<\/p>\n<p>without collecting security and without knowing the whereabouts of<\/p>\n<p>the consumer.\n<\/p>\n<p>                         (C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, JUDGE)<\/p>\n<p>jg<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kerala High Court Abdul Khader.V.M. vs Kerala State Electricity Board on 13 December, 2007 IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM WP(C) No. 33477 of 2007(I) 1.
