8. In reply to this petition, the DESU on 5.9.1988 filed a counter affidavit enclosing the notes of the inspection conducted on 4.8.1988. According to the DESU the inspection revealed that one seal was found broken and a sticker seal was also found torn out. On visual inspection, a flash was found over the front panel cover of the meter. The back plate was also found open and a flash was noticed on the cable end on the back of the outgoing cable from the meter cubicle to the consumer premises. It was stated that the inspection team found that the metering cubical bottom plate near the meter from where the connections are passing to the meter was open and these connections to the meter were accessible. Upon opening of the top plate one secondary current transformer was found open. The report concluded that due to the broken seal as well as the fact that the three plates of the cubicle metering could be opened easily the possibility of any malpractice with the metering cubical could not be ruled out.
