IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.1728 of 2009 RANA TABASSUM Versus THE BIHAR STATE ELECTRICITY BOARD ----------- 2. 3.2.2009 On the own showing of the petitioner her application for grant of electric connection is pending consideration before the authority. As a matter of fact in terms of the Electricity Act, 2003 the State Electricity Regulatory Commission has already notified a Dispute Redressal Forum which is also functioning and thus in the event the petitioner is aggrieved by any decision of the authority of the Board, he can always approach the Dispute Redressal Forum. That being so, the petitioner must avail the statutory alternative remedy before approaching this Court. Consequently this writ application is misconceived and is accordingly dismissed.
