Wajda Tabassum v. Cesc Limited And Others

09.08.2021 ss W.P.A. 11393 of 2021 Wajda Tabassum Vs.

C.E.S.C. Limited & ors.

Mr. Prasenjit Mukherjee Mr. Saptarshi Chakraborty ... For the petitioner Mr. Suman Ghosh .. for the C.E.S.C.

,, The writ petitioner claims that she is entitled to reconnection of a meter standing in the name of Madhab Chandra Basak at premises no.97/C, Narkeldanga North Road, Police Station Narkeldanga, Kolkata-700011. It is submitted by the Counsel for the petitioner that his client is ready and willing to pay final assessment of Rs.7,185/- towards reconnection. Counsel for the C.E.S.C. argues that Madhab Chandra Basak is nowhere in picture. He further submits that the petitioner has no locus to seek reconnection or pay dues of Madhab Chandra Basak. The petitioner claims that she is a beneficiary of the property, having purchased the same from Madhab Chandra Basak, she is entitled to pay outstanding dues and seek reconnection.

This Court is unable to appreciate under what law a transferee of a property can claim the benefit of existing

meter standing in the name of the transferor and enjoy benefits thereunder.

It is submitted by the Counsel for the C.E.S.C. that the petitioner and her sister illegally supply electricity to their brothers and family members.

In that view of the matter, no relief can be granted to the writ petitioner in this writ petition. Accordingly, the writ petition must fail and is hereby dismissed.

There shall be no order as to costs.

All parties are to act on a server copy of this order duly downloaded from the official website of this Court. (Rajasekhar Mantha, J.)
