Sefaur Rahman @ Sefaur Rahaman @ Sefarul Rahaman And ANR. v. West Bengal State Electricity Distribution Company Limited And ORS.

D/L.02.

January 20, 2026.

KAUSHIK WPA No. 1056 of 2026 Sefaur Rahman @ Sefaur Rahaman @ Sefarul Rahaman & Anr.

Vs.

WBSEDCL & Ors.

Mr. Prosenjit Mukherjee Mr. Saptarshi Chakraborty Mr. Raja Roy ... for the petitioner Dr. Madhusudan Saha Roy Mr. Debanjan Chatterjee ... for the WBSEDCL Affidavit-of-Service filed in Court is taken on record.

The grievance of the petitioner is directed against non-consideration of a representation dated 24 December, 2025 seeking compensation. It is submitted by the petitioner that despite having served the above representation on the respondent authorities, there has been no consideration of the same till date.

On behalf of WBSEDCL, it is submitted that the entire claim for compensation is misconceived and concocted and there is no case for compensation.

It is further submitted that this is a second round of litigation. In an earlier round being WPA No. 22322 of 2025 (Sefaur Rahaman @ Sefaur Rahaman @ Sefarul Rahaman Vs. The State of

West Bengal & Ors.), the petitioner had made inconsistent and irreconcilable statements.

Be that as it may, WPA 1056 of 2026 stands disposed of by directing the Chairman, WBSEDCL being the respondent no. 3 to nominate an appropriate representative/delegate for consideration of the representation within a period of four weeks from the date of communication of this order.

It is made clear that there has been no expression on the merits of the case and the concerned representative/delegate of the Chairman is to decide the representation without being influenced by any observation made in this writ petition.
