Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd. vs Bses Rajdhani Power Ltd. And Anr. on 12 March, 2007
In this context, a reliance can be had upon the
judgment reported in a case entitled as Hindustan Petroleum Corporation
Ltd. Vs BSES Rajdhani Power Ltd. & Anr. 138 (2007) DLT 679, it was held by
the Hon'ble High Court that respondent no.2 was merely licensee of
petitioner to sell petrol as dealer of petitioner to the petitioner is a
principal agent selling petrol on petrol pump and petrol pump belongs to
the petitioner. If adulterated petrol or less petrol sold to customers by
tampering with pump meter or electricity stolen, it is the responsibility of
the petitioner to do regular inspection and keep check on petrol pump.
Petitioner cannot wash off its hands saying it has nothing to do with petrol
pump once it gave license. Petitioner has not stated of taking any action
against respondent no.2 when it discovered theft of electricity to the extent
that meter was slow by more than 80%. That shows electricity stolen either
with connivance of petitioner or consent of petitioner. Where, theft of
electricity done at premises of principal agent by licensee and principal
agent is keeping its eyes closed to theft or other similar things done by
licensee, charge of abatement of offence prima facie made out. Abatement
is not only done by positive act but abatement can also be done by
omission to do positive act by one who is responsible to act. Power U/sec.

complaint not liable to be quashed.
