Item No.4 15.09.2026 Court. No. 12 GB MAT 1527 of 2026 With CAN 1 of 2026 Sadein Hussain & Anr. VS CESC Limited & Anr. Mr. Bidyut Kumar Halder, Mr. Indranil Halder, Ms. Neha Singh … for the Appellants. Mr. Suman Ghosh … for the CESC. 1. We are not inclined to interfere with the order impugned. The learned Single Judge by the order dated August 31, 2026, rightly appreciated the law. Reconnection of supply can be allowed only upon payment of the entire assessed amount. 2. We only modify the order to the extent that, instead of the appellants being relegated to the CESC limited requesting payment in instalments, we allow payment in instalments as an equitable relief. Admittedly the appellants are without electricity since long. 3. Under such circumstances, we direct payment of the remaining 50% of the assessed amount by 10 equal monthly instalments. Fraction if any, will be added to the last instalment. Upon payment of a sum of Rs.35,000/- and the reconnection charges, the supply will be restored to the premises of the appellant within 48 hours from such payment. The remaining instalments shall be paid on and from the month of October 2026 and the breakup of the monthly payment/instalment shall be supplied by the 2 CESC limited to the appellants along with the date on which such instalment is to be paid. 4. In the event of any default in payment, the CESC limited will be entitled to disconnect the supply. 5. Needless to mention that, upon restoration of supply, the instalments along with monthly consumption bills which will be raised separately, shall be paid by the appellants. 6. With the above modification of the order dated August 31, 2026, the appeal and the application are disposed of. 7. Parties are directed to act on the basis of the server copy of this order.
