BHAGALPUR THROUGH ITS DIRECTOR PRADIP TIWARY S/O SRI L.D. TIWARY R/O 6/7, ANANDPURI, P.S. S.K.PURI, DISTT. PATNA Versus 1. BIHAR STATE ELECTRICITY BOARD THROUGH ITS CHAIRMAN BIHAR STATE ELECTRICITY BOARD, VIDYUT BHAWAN, BAILEY ROAD, PATNA 2. ELECTRICAL EXECUTIVE ENGINEER ELECTRIC SUPPLY DIVISION, BHAGALPUR (BIHAR) 3. ASSISTANT ELECTRICAL ENGINEER ELECTRIC SUPPLY SUB- DIVISION ALIGANJ, BHAGALPUR, BIHAR ----------- 3. 14.02.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner seeks enhancement of connected load. The Board contends that inspection has revealed, a connected load higher than that sanctioned. A provisional assessment on excess load has been done and the petitioner has filed his objection to the same under Section 126(3) of the Electricity Act, 2003. Learned counsel for the parties are agreed that the application be disposed off with direction to pass final orders on the objections filed by the petitioner. In so far as the issue of enhancement of load is concerned, it is the case of the petitioner that he has removed the deficiencies. The Board is expected 2 to act in its own best interest for enhancement of load on an application made by a consumer so that the consumer apart, the Board has access to more revenue by pragmatic action rather to create litigation on trivial or frivolous objections to the benefit of none. Let there be compliance on both aspects within a maximum period of two months. The interim payment made by the petitioner under the Courts order dated 7.11.2009 shall abide by the final decision to be taken by the Board in the matter. The writ application stands disposed. P.
