The Petitioner, which is a Flour Mill, prays for quashing the inspections report dated 25.07.2011 raising punitive bill of Rs.20,72,000/- The petitioner submits that the impugned inspection report is faulty and the Bill has been raised against the provisions of Electricity Act, 2003 including Section 135 as well as Clause 11.2.3 of Supply Code. The petitioner submits that in any view of the matter, there was no basis for respondents to calculate the loss from the last 12 months. The petitioner further submits that in past the Board did not find any fault in recording of meter reading. On the other hand, Mr. Ojha, learned counsel for the Board, submits that the petitioner has tampered with the meter and has caused loss to the Board. As the petitioner has an alternative remedy of raising 2 his objection, I do not propose to keep the matter pending. Pending final adjudication of appeal of the assessment, the petitioner would deposit 15 % of assessed loss within two weeks and rest 15 % of the loss within further period of four weeks and the remaining 5 % within a further period of six weeks. The Board would restore the election connection of the petitioner on deposit of 1st installment. Uday/ (Samarendra Pratap Singh, J.)
