Mr. Suman Ghosh, Ms. Debanjan Mukherjee, Mr. A.D Mukherjee, …. for the CESC Limited. 1. Affidavit of service filed in Court today is taken on record. 2. This writ petition alleges inaction on the part of the respondent CESC authorities in restoring the petitioner’s electricity supply at the petitioner’s commercial premises. 3. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioners submits that the supply to the petitioner business premises has been disconnected by the respondent CESC authorities and despite requests, such supply is not being restored. 4. It is further submitted by the petitioner as well as the learned advocate for the CESC Ltd. and the 2 learned advocate of the private respondents that inspection has been conducted by the CESC authorities yesterday evening. 5. Mr. Ghosh and Mr. Mukherjee learned advocate appearing for the respondent CESC authorities submit that the service connection is live at the petitioners premises. It is submitted that up to the point to which, CESC limited has jurisdiction, there is no interruption in supply that is being effected to the petitioner. It is further submitted that if at all there is any interruption in the petitioner’s supply, then the same is attributable to some fault or issue in the consumer’s installation at the petitioner’s end. 6. In view of such stand, having been taken by CESC Limited, nothing survivies to be decided on this writ petition. 7. This writ petition is therefore disposed of by leaving the petitioner free to take appropriate steps to get the consumers installation tested and corrected without in any way interfering with the distribution licensee’s installation. 8. However, if upon checking the consumer’s installation, the petitioner finds that the consumer’s installation is proper and there is some fault with the licensee’s installation the petitioner will be at liberty to bring the same to the notice of the CESC authorities who shall then take appropriate steps in 3 accordance with law. 9. With the above observations, WPA 17139 of 2026 stands disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. 10. Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties subject to compliance with all requisite formalities. (Om Narayan Rai, J.)
