07. PW03­Sh.   M.K.   Kapoor  testified   that   at   the   time   of inspection, he was working as Manager, CEG Department, TPDDL. He was part of the raiding team members. He alongwith his team members   inspected   the   premises   bearing   No.   10448,   Bagichi Peerji   on   24.07.2009.On   the   instruction   of   DGM­Mr.   S.K.   Dass, they visited the premises for segregation of retained meter. At the time of their visit on 24.07.2009 at the subject premises, they found that no retained meter was there. There, they were apprised by the person   present   at   site   that   meter   was   removed   by   TPDDL.   No document regarding removal of subject meter was shown to them. Electricity   of   installed   meter   was   being   found   used   for   industrial purpose.   Thereafter,   he   telephonically   enquired   from   DGM­S.K. Dass  whether  the  meter  installed  at  the subject premises had to be   inspected   or   not.   After   receiving   instruction   from   DGM­S.K. Dass, for checking the installed meter, they checked the same. The box seal and terminal seal was found missing and half seals found tampered.   Without   disturbing   the   half   seals,   they   checked   the meter   through   acqua­check   and   meter   found   slow   by   ­57%. Thereafter,   they   downloaded   the   data   of   the   meter.   Then,   they pasted   the   paper   seals   on   meter   terminal   and   meter   box. Thereafter, they prepared the inspection report at site and person present at site apprised them that the registered consumer of the meter was Harphool Singh and user was Hardeep Singh. Hardeep Singh   was   not   present   at   the   site   at   the   time   of   inspection. Thereafter, they prepared inspection report, action report and show cause  notice  and  copy  of the inspection report and show cause notice were served at site upon Mr. Jaswant Singh. He received the same and also signed the same. Photographs of the inspection were also taken by Shanti Studio. After serving   the reports, they left the inspected premises.  

As per the testimony of PW-03-Sh. M.K.Kapoor, after   receiving   instruction   from   DGM­S.K.   Dass   for  checking   the installed meter, they checked the same. The box seal and terminal seal   was  found   missing  and  half  seals  found  tampered.  Without disturbing the half seals, they checked the meter through acqua­ check   and   meter   found   slow   by   ­57%.     Thereafter,   they downloaded  the  data of the meter. Then, they pasted the paper seals on meter terminal and meter box. Thereafter, they prepared the inspection report at site  but PW-03 did not testify regarding sending the subject meter in the lab for testing. It is very very relevant to pen down here that during the cross-examination, PW-02-Sh. Kapil Kumar admitted that meter was not sent to any lab for testing and voluntarily said that there was no procedure at that time.
