D/L.03. June 11, 2026. KAUSHIK WPA No. 11620 of 2026 Anisur Rahaman Sana Vs. WBSEB & Ors. Mr. Angshuman Chakraborty Mr. S. S. Saha … for the petitioner Dr. Madhusudan Saha Roy Mr. Debanjan Chatterjee … for the WBSEDCL Ms. Indrani Chakraborty Mr. Falguni Bandyopadhyay Ms. Sarda Sha … for the State The grievance of the petitioner is directed against the failure of the respondents to consider their representations dated 11th February, 2026 and 4th March, 2026. It is submitted by the petitioner that their objection insofar as installation of a new sub- station at the Basirhat Area has not been considered. On behalf of the WBSEDCL, it is submitted that the entire grievance of the petitioner is misconceived and ill-founded. The proposal for installation of a sub-station is not justiciable. Significantly, the proposed sub-station is indispensable for the following reasons: a) Mitigation of persistent low-voltage problems; b) Reduction of restoration time against breakdowns and emergencies; 2 c) Improvement of reliability and quality of electricity supply; d) Meeting present and future electricity demand; e) Ensuring uninterrupted power supply to public institutions and strategic Border Out Posts situated along the Indo- Bangladesh border for national safety and security. In any event, electricity being a essential public utility it is in public interest that the sub- station be installed. In view of the submissions made on behalf of the parties, the petitioner has been unable to demonstrate any enforceable legal right justifying interference by this Court. The grievance of the petitioner is ill- founded and without any basis. There is no scope of Writ Court to adjudicate upon the policy decision of the WBSEDCL in installing a sub- station at the subject area. In such circumstances, there is no merit in the present writ petition. WPA 11620 pf 2026 stands dismissed. (Ravi Krishan Kapur, J.)
