"The procedure and power of the Special Court is laid down under Section 154 of the Act, including the power to levy a penalty which is referred as "civil liability" under Section 154(5) and 154(6) of the Act. Section 155 states that the Special Court is to have the powers of a Court of Sessions, and Section 157 of the Act vests the Special Court with a power of Review. Under Section 156 of the Act, appeals and revisions that are available against the Court of Sessions and that are provided under the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 can also be availed of It is clear from a perusal of the aforesaid sections that the Special Electricity Court acts as a Court of Sessions and has been set up to try offences that are committed under the Act. By no stretch of imagination can it be stated that a civil suit would be within the jurisdiction of such Court. We are, therefore, of the view that the impugned judgment deserves to be set aside."
