3. The counsel for the appellant has relied on the decision of the High Court of Kerala in Abdul Nazer Vs. Kerala State Electricity Board and Others 2006 (1) KLJ 440. On a perusal of the above decision we find that in the above case demand notice was issued prior to the date of commencement of the Indian Electricity Act in the State of Kerala ie on 10.12.2003. It was observed therein that the Act is not retrospective and hence the Electricity Board is entitled to realize the amount. As per Sec.56(2) no sum due from the consumer shall be recoverable after the period of 2 years from the date when such sum became first due unless such sum has been shown continuously as recoverable as arrear of charges for electricity supplied. As noted above in the above cited decision demand notice was already issued prior to the said date. Hence we find the above decision is not applicable to the facts of the instant case.
