The petitioner challenges a recovery certificate dated 18.10.2024 sent by the Officer of the Electricity Corporation to the Collector, Amethi for recovering an amount of Rs. 2,54,215/- from the petitioner as arrears of land revenue, as the electricity dues had not been paid. 3.) The submission is that on 27.10.2020 a notice for temporary disconnection was given asking the petitioner to pay an amount of Rs. 71,745/- which was not paid by the petitioner, but instead of disconnecting the electricity connection, now, recovery certificate has been issued for recovery of a highly exorbitant amount. However, on being asked as to whether he has consumed electricity or not, he says that he has not consumed electricity. 4.) Learned Standing Counsel for the Electricity Corporation says that the recovery is not for any electricity consumption after 2020, but it is the amount which was proposed to be recovered in the said year which has escalated. 5.)
