(k) Since the Appellant found that there was unauthorized use of electricity, the electricity Connection to premises 'B' and 'C' was disconnected in pursuance of the decision taken in the proceedings under Section 126 of the Electricity Act, 2003 and Supplementary Bills were issued.

(l) Against this decision, the Rolex Rings filed an Appeal u/s 127 of the Electricity Act, 2003 before the Chief Electrical Inspector. The said Appeal was pending.

(m) At this stage, the Rolex Rings approached the State Commission and filed a Petition challenging the action taken by the Appellant against the consumer for the said unauthorized use of power and sought for seeking for regularization of the power supplied from premises 'A' to premises 'B' and 'C'. The State Commission issued notice to the Appellant.

(e) The Appellant has taken a stand that the Rolex Rings has committed an illegal act of having laid down the cables to extend the supply to other premises in different locations. The proceedings have been initiated against the consumer u/s 126 of the Electricity Act. As against these proceedings, the consumer had preferred an Appeal u/s 127 of the Electricity Act. The said Appeal has also been disposed of by the Appellate Authority during the pendency of this Appeal. Therefore, the proceeding u/s 126 and 127 of the Electricity Act would not stand in the way of granting the permission.
