Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the father and brother of the petitioner expired due to electrocution in a water logged field due to deliberate act of the private respondents.

Learned counsel for the State submits that the incident was merely an accident and the private respondents had no role to play therein.

Learned counsel for the WBSEDCL submits that the distribution company supplied electricity to the 12th respondent and is not responsible for the outgoing terminals from the meter of the said respondent. However, the distribution company has disconnected the service connection of the said respondent for violation of safety norms.
