1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO. 9680 OF 2003 Jalaram Pipes and Profiles ...Petitioner V/s. Maharashtra State Electricity Board & Ors. ... Respondents Mr. Kanchan Kambli instructed by Mr. V.M. Thorat for the Petitioner Mrs. A.R.S. Baxi for Respondents No. 1, 3 and 4 Mr. A.P. Vanarse, Assistant Government Pleader, for Respondent No. 2. CORAM: KSHITIJ R. VYAS, C.J., & DR.D.Y.CHANDRACHUD,J. DATE: MARCH 13, 2006. P.C.:- Having heard learned counsel appearing for the parties, and having gone through the contents of the petition, we see no merits in the petition. In our opinion, the Appellate Authority, after considering the submissions advanced before it, rightly rejected the prayer of the petitioner. There is no reason for us to take a contrary view to the one expressed by the Appellate Authority. The final bill of Rs.1,90,233/- issued to the petitioner, being amount of theft of energy, does not call for any interference. This is particularly in view of the fact that the final 2 assessment of the said amount is made on the basis of the order passed by the Appellate Authority. The petition is, therefore, dismissed. CHIEF JUSTICE DR.D.Y.CHANDRACHUD,J.
