No. Date Office Notes, reports, orders or proceedings or directions and Registrar’s order with Signatures COURT’S OR JUDGE’S ORDERS WPMS/1985/2026 Abdul Malik --Petitioner Versus State Of Uttarakhand & Ors. --Respondents Hon’ble Manoj Kumar Tiwari, J. Ms. Radha Arya, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. P.S. Bisht, Brief Holder, for the State. (2) Petitioner runs an ice factory. He is aggrieved by an inspection report dated 29.4.2026. In the inspection report, allegation of theft of electricity is made against the petitioner. Petitioner contends that the said allegation is incorrect, as the factory commenced production only from 1st of April, 2026. Thus it is contended that amount indicated in the report is unbelievable, as consumption of electricity amounting to the tune of ₹2,30,55,120 is not possible within a few days. (3) This Court is not inclined to go into the issue raised by the petitioner. The report challenged by the petitioner is based on an inspection. Learned State Counsel is right in submitting that the penalty order is yet to be passed in the matter and if penalty order is passed, then it can be challenged before appellate authority under the Electricity Act. UKHC010112492026 2026:UHC:5377 (4) Writ petition is, accordingly, disposed of with liberty to petitioner to approach the appropriate forum, as and when the penalty order is passed.
