Petitioner seeks electric connection.

Learned advocate appearing for the C.E.S.C. Limited submits that on the receipt of the application for connection, the CESC authority inspected the premises. On inspection CESC authority found that the petitioner enjoyed a power supply in 2009 and that, such supply got disconnected due to non payment of revenue. Petitioner thereafter, continued to enjoy electricity supply from the meter of his brother. In the event electric connection is given to them, there will be a case of split load.

Learned advocate for the C.E.S.C authority submits that, the outstanding in the previous meter is Rs.15,312/-.
