IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.83 of 2005 RAM SHEKHAR SINGH Versus BIHAR STATE ELECTRICITY BOARD & ORS. ----------- 2 6.2.2009 Heard counsel for the parties. Dispute in this writ application is pertaining to quashing of an inspection report dated 25.7.2000 and raising correct bill. In the opinion of this Court, once the petitioner has not been able to assail the correctness of inspection report, his mere ipse dixit that such inspection report does not inspire confidence, will not be good enough to doubt the correctness thereof which contains signature of six officials of the Board as also the signature of the consumer of the Board. In this writ application infact not a word has been said that the inspection was conducted in any surreptitious manner. That apart, the petitioner had initially moved the Consumer Forum and the Consumer Forum, by its order dated 29.10.2004 had dismissed such complaint of the petitioner by recording that the petitioner should move before the Civil Court. This inter-parte order between the petitioner and the Board has been allowed to become final and therefore the petitioner at least cannot be allowed to file this writ application for quashing of an 2 inspection report, which event had taken place prior to the filing of the petition before the Consumer Forum. That being so, if the petitioner has not moved civil court, he now has no option but to accept the correctness of the inspection report and act accordingly in this light of findings recorded therein. The billing which has to be done for the period July 2000 onwards would definitely be on the basis of connected load found and recorded in the inspection report. If the petitioner has any further grievance, as is sought to be projected in the I.A. No. 256 of 2009, he may approach the competent authority of the Board who, would be under an obligation to correct the bill in terms of finding recorded in impugned Inspection Report. With the aforementioned observations and directions, this application is disposed of. Rsh (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
