IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. R.S.A. No.388 of 1987 (O&M) Date of decision: 29.10.2009 Lal Singh. -----Appellant Vs. Punjab State Electricity Board and another. -----Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ADARSH KUMAR GOEL Present:- None. --- ORDER: 1. This appeal has been preferred under Section 100 of the Code of Civil Procedure by the original plaintiff. 2. The plaintiff/appellant filed suit for injunction, restraining the defendant Electricity Board from realizing electric consumption charges on commercial basis. Case of the plaintiff was that electric connection for tubewell was installed which was disconnected for non- payment. Originally, the charges were realised but when the plaintiff sought restoration of the connection, bill of Rs.1110/- was issued, which was at commercial rate and thus, illegal. The Electricity Board contested the suit by submitting that the connection itself was given for commercial purposes and not for running tubewell. The trial Court held that connection was granted for agricultural purposes. Accordingly, the suit was decreed. On appeal, the lower Appellate Court held that connection had been given for commercial purpose RSA No.388 of 1987 and not for tube well. Accordingly, decree of the trial Court was set aside. 3. The appeal has been pending for the last 22 years. The appeal can be entertained only if there is any substantial question of law. No substantial question of law has been framed. 4. Inspite of repeated calls, none appears. The matter was shown in the list earlier also. 5. In these circumstances, the appeal is dismissed for non- prosecution. 6. A copy of this order be sent to the appellant. October 29, 2009 (ADARSH KUMAR GOEL) ashwani JUDGE 2
