N.22Sl 151/CL 17.07.26 ML-28 Ct-07 (S.R.) WPA 15955 of 2026 Shama Khatoon v. CESC Ltd. & Anr. Mr. Indranil Halder … for the petitioner. Mr. Debanjan Mukherjee … for the CESC Ltd. 1. This writ petition lays challenge a final order of assessment passed under Section 126 of the Electricity Act, 2003 which is appealable under Section 127 of the said Act. In such view of the matter, a writ petition assailing the final order of assessment cannot be entertained. 2. The petitioner prays for reconnection of her electricity supply by submitting that the petitioner has already deposited 50% of the assessed sum as a condition for grant of anticipatory bail. Since the relevant regulations and the statute mandate restoration of supply only upon payment of the finally assessed sum, therefore no mandatory order for reconnection upon payment of 50% of such sum can be passed. 3. However, the petitioner shall be free to make appropriate representation before the electricity authorities for consideration of the petitioner’s request for grant of installments by which the assessed sum can be paid as also for reconnection of supply upon payment of either a lumpsum or certain installments of the total sum. The CESC authorities shall be free to consider such request, in accordance with law. It is made clear that there is no mandatory order to grant installments. 4. With the aforesaid observations, WPA 15955 of 2026 stands disposed of. 5. There shall be no order as to costs. 6. Urgent certified photocopy of this order, if applied for, be supplied as expeditiously as possible. (Om Narayan Rai, J.) 2
