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

 

            This matter is pending since 2012. Petitioner’s premises are claimed to have been without electricity. The meter was removed somewhere in June, 2014. It is claimed by the respondents that there were / are outstanding in the sum of Rs.2,53,900/-. Since it requires enquiry / investigation, we deem it appropriate to refer it to the Electric Inspector to ascertain as to whether such amount is outstanding and payable prior to the removal of the meter in June, 2014 or it was accrued subsequent to June, 2014 on account of lab test carried out in accordance with law. The Electric Inspector shall apply the law to ascertain as to whether such amount is outstanding or otherwise, preferably within six weeks whereafter an order be passed for the installation of new meter subject to payment of dues if found by the Electric Inspector. The copy of the order may also be placed on the record of this Court for compliance.

 

The petition in the above terms stands disposed of.
