NO. 34830 OF 2008 U -------------------------------------- Dated this the 28th November, 2008 JUDGMENT Complaint of the petitioner is that electric connection of the petitioner has been disconnected on the basis of allegation of theft. I heard the learned counsel for petitioner and the learned standing counsel appearing on behalf of the respondent Electricity Board. Learned standing counsel points out that this is a case of theft using an adapter. However, he submits that copy of the mahazar was not given. He does not dispute that the petitioner was not given copy of the mahazar and the calculation statement. He, however, submits that copy of the mahazar as also the assessment will be given to the petitioner today itself. I record the submission of the standing counsel and further direct that upon the petitioner paying the amount demanded under the calculation statement, the electric connection will be restored to the petitioner at the earliest and, at any rate, within twentyfour hours. I leave open the right of the petitioner as also the WPC.34830/08 U 2 respondent available in accordance with law. The Writ Petition is disposed of as above. Sd/= K. M.
