Chairman, M.P. Electricity Board And ... vs Shiv Narayan And Anr on 24 August, 2005
After issuing notice of motion, respondent No.2 was served way
back in the year 2016, but has not chosen to appear till date. A perusal of
the impugned order shows that in the present case, respondent No.2 was not
running an office in his house. In fact, the electricity connection has been
granted in his chamber in the District Courts. Hence, applying the ratio of
the judgment passed by Hon'ble the Supreme Court in Shiv Narayan's case
(supra), the connection in dispute has to be treated as 'commercial and non-
domestic' and charges are to be treated accordingly.
