M/s T.David Lawrence & Tahir Hussain Mangi,

Advocates for SEPCO.

Pursuant to Court notice, Aijaz Ahmed Channa, XEN SEPCO, Rohri, shown appearance and submits that petitioners were misusing the electricity connection and exceeded their load capacity which was sanctioned, therefore, their meters as well as transformer have been removed.

From perusal of record, it appears that no legal course has been adopted by the respondents while taking such extreme action against the petitioners as no notice was issued as required under the law to the petitioners, no detection bill has been made before removing the maters and transformer which were installed by the SEPCO.

Learned Counsel for the petitioners submits that the respondents may be directed to ascertain the exceeding load capacity of the petitioners whereafter meters may be installed and if there is amount required to be paid in excess in view of the load capacity, demand notice may be issued by the respondents which will be paid by the petitioners and such exercise shall be completed within a period of one week in accordance with law, as the petitioners are without electricity.

Let the needful be done by the respondents within a period of one week in accordance with law, whereafter compliance report may be submitted through Additional Registrar of this Court within two weeks.

Petition stands disposed of along with listed application in the above terms.
