C.P.No.D-1296 of 2013

1. For Katcha Peshi

2. For hearing of CMA-3943/2013

13.05.2016

Mr. Tahir Hussain Mangi advocate for SEPCO.

Mr. Yousuf Ali, Standing Counsel.

..................

Petitioner and his counsel are called absent, no intimation received. Instant petition was filed on 19.04.2013, whereby the petitioner has impugned detection bill including arrears issued by SEPCO authorities. On 23.04.2013 when notices were issued in the instant petition, the operation of impugned notice issued by NAB authorities was suspended.

Today, neither the petitioner nor his counsel is in attendance. Learned counsel for SEPCO submits that the petitioner is defaulter and instead of approaching the Electric Inspector has filed instant petition and has not paid outstanding amount so far.

Since the petitioner after obtaining restraining order from this Court on 23.04.2013 has not remained vigilant to proceed with the matter, which is pending since 2013, accordingly, this Court is left with no option but to dismiss instant petition, which is hereby dismissed for non-prosecution along with listed application. However, it may be observed that in respect of electricity dues, if any, the SEPCO authorities can recover the same strictly in accordance with law, without any interference of NAB authorities in the garb of voluntary return when there is no Reference pending against the petitioner.
