I attest to the accuracy and
authenticity of this document
RSA No.4054 of 2013 (O&M) 15
Sections i.e 135 (a) to 135 (e) of the 2003 Act, therefore, issuance of
notice in utter disregard to provisions of the Act makes the action of
the Authority illegal. The defendants have raised illegal demand of
huge amount of penalty on account of alleged theft of energy which
is against the scheme of the 2003 Act. The bar of civil Court
jurisdiction is only applicable where dispute falls within the purview of
Section 126 of the 2003 Act. The demand of illegal amount is based
on allegation of theft of energy, therefore, the contemplating action
does not falls within the purview of Section 126 of the 2003 Act and
the civil Court jurisdiction to entertain such a relief is maintainable.
