IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH RSA No. 513 of 2006 (O&M) Date of Decision:04.12.2008 Sham Lal ...... Appellant Versus H.S.E.B. and others ...... Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Ajay Tewari 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? Present: Mr.Vishal Garg, Advocate for the appellant. **** Ajay Tewari, J. This appeal has been filed against the concurrent judgments of the Courts below dismissing a suit for declaration filed by the plaintiff to the effect that the penalty demanded for the theft of electricity is invalid. The appellant has based his suit mainly on factual allegations regarding the correctness of the report and the speed of the meter etc. Both the Courts on application of fact have not believed the case of the appellant either that the inspection report was tampered with subsequently or that there is any mistake in the inspection of the meter. Learned counsel has not been able to persuade me that these findings of fact are either perverse or cannot be held to be not arising from the material on the record. Consequently this appeal is dismissed. No costs. (AJAY TEWARI) JUDGE December 04, 2008 sunita
