Sanjay D. Ghodawat vs R.R.B. Energy Ltd. on 17 December, 2009
9. The District Forum, before recording the finding that the
complainant does not qualify to be a "consumer", recorded the
finding on merits that nothing was brought on the record by the
complainant for proving that there was any deficiency in service on
the part of the opposite party and that only in order to withhold the
balance amount of Rs.13,000/-, the complainant filed the complaint.
Before recording the findings on merits, the District Forum was first
required to record a finding, as to whether the complainant fell
within the definition of "consumer"? While recording the finding that
the complainant is not a consumer, it observed that the services of
First Appeal No.408 of 2012 7
the opposite party cannot be construed as "services" not for
commercial purpose and the order placed by the complainant is
basically intended to generate profit and further would only fall
within the ambit of "commercial purpose". It relied upon the
judgments reported in 2011 (1) CLT 294, Consumer Complaint
No.155 of 2008 titled as "Sanjay D. Ghodawat Vs. R.R.B. Energy
Ltd.; Consumer Complaint No.38 of 2009 titled as "Radhe
Enterprises Vs. Suzion Energy Ltd."; and First Appeal No.218 of
2004 against order dated 8.8.2003 in complaint No.79/98 of
Hon'ble State Commission Andhra Pradesh titled as "Neutral

Neither the facts of those cases were discussed, nor it was
mentioned as to how the ratio of those judgments applies to the
facts of the present case. Only the head note of one of the
judgments was reproduced. For want of complete particulars, it was
not possible for us to lay our hands on those judgments.

Delhi Public School vs The Managing Director/Chairman, Uttar ... on 29 October, 2014
It becomes very much clear from the above said judgment that
where the system is purchased for the purpose of education and
research, it cannot be said to be purchased for commercial
purpose. This very judgment was followed by the Hon'ble National
Commission in its recent judgment given in case Delhi Public
School Vs. The M.D., Uttar Haryana Bijli Vitran Nigam Ltd. &
Others (2015 (1) CLT 103). In that case, the complainant was
running an educational institution and it obtained an electric
connection from the opposite party. The opposite party took up the
defence that the electric connection had been obtained for
commercial purpose and, as such, the complainant was not a
consumer and the complaint filed by it under the Act was not
maintainable. It was held therein that the electric connection
obtained by the complainant does not fall within the purview of the
electric connection for commercial purpose. If educational
institution purchases equipment for use by the students, purchase
of equipment cannot be said to be commercial, even if institution
charges some amount for maintenance of equipment. The
complainant was not generating anything by the use of electric
connection, but the electricity connection had been taken only for
the purpose of electrification of the school premises and for other
First Appeal No.408 of 2012 9
facilities to the students and in such circumstances, merely
because it is non-domestic connection, it cannot be said that the
electric connection falls within the purview of the connection for
commercial purpose.
