State Of U.P. & Ors vs Saroj Kumar Sinha on 2 February, 2010
".....The report prepared by the officers of the
Electricity Board is an act done in discharge of their
duties and could not be straightway reflected or
disbelieved unless and until there was definite and
cogent material on record to arrive at such a
finding. The inspection report is a document
prepared in exercise of his official duty by the
officers of the corporation. Once an act is done in
accordance with law, the presumption is in favour of
FIR No. 1108/2021 , State Vs. Saroj 13 of 15
such act or document and not against the same. Thus
there was specific onus upon the consumer to rebut
by leading proper and cogent evidence that the report
prepared by the officers was not correct....".
