IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.3505 of 2008 BIRENDRA KUMAR JHA Versus BIHAR STATE ELECTRICITY BOARD & ORS. ----------- 5. 1.5.2008. After hearing learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the respondent Electricity Board this Court is of the opinion that there is some explanation to be done by the respondent Electricity Board with regard to the dispute in bill in question. The final amount which has been brought on record with the counter affidavit does accepts some error in the calculation but still these are matters of certain accounting which may be required at the local level. However, keeping in view the interest of the consumer as well in mind and his willingness to deposit a part of the bill which has been raised, which is to the tune of Rs.1,02,097.02 P., the petitioner is directed to deposit a sum of Rs.40,000/- at this stage provisionally subject to the final calculations which may be made and explained to the petitioner. Petitioner will have liberty to explain his stand and position either in person or in writing before respondent no.3. On deposit of the said amount of Rs.40,000/- the respondents are directed to restore the electricity line of the petitioner within 24 hours. The other disputes shall be subject to the final decision in this regard which may be taken by the competent authority (respondent no.3) at the local level. This writ application along with the interlocutory application stands disposed of with the above direction. Pawan/- (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
