IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.18781 of 2010 ANANT PRASAD S/O LATE HARIHAR PRASAD R/O MOHALLA-JIRIA TAMOLIN KI GALI, P.S.- KHAJEKALAN, DISTRICT- PATNA. ……………… Petitioner Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR …………. Opposite Party ----------- 3. 07.03.2011 Heard the parties. The petitioner has prayed for quashing the order dated 20.8.2009 passed by the A.C.J.M., Patna City in Khajekalan P.S. Case No. 113/2009, by which cognizance has been taken under Section 135 Electricity Act. By an order dated 3.2.2011 the petitioner had submitted that he was ready to appear before the compounding authority to settle the dues of the Electricity Department. Pursuant to the same, it has been submitted that he approached the compounding authority but they demanded the entire loss amount incurred by the department which the petitioner at this stage is unable to pay. However, considering that there is a provision under Section 152 of the Electricity Act that the matter can be adjudicated even subsequently on payment of the demand made by the department, the petitioner can avail of such an opportunity even later. With these observations, the application is disposed off. Fahad. ( Anjana Prakash, J. )
