Forum rejects power dept’s plea
Chandigarh, March 19 The department has also been asked to give a revised bill to the consumer and Rs 3,000 as costs of litigation. The complainant in his plea had alleged that he had been regularly paying the bills issued by the department. In July 2005, he received a bill showing arrears of over Rs 3.6 lakh, apart from the current usage amount of Rs 1,648. He made inquiries from the department but neither a proper response was given nor any details were furnished. A legal notice issued by the complainant to the department also failed to elicit any response. In reply to the forum, the department contended that the complainant had stood surety for Mr Sat Pal Singh Rana, who was awarded a contract of single-point delivery connection for providing connections to residents of Mauli Jagran. He defaulted in the payment of bills and the arrears in his account were transferred to the complainant's bill. However, on examination of the documents, the forum found that the contract was given to M/s Chandigarh Vidut Bulk Supply Company Pvt Ltd and not to Mr Rana. It came to the conclusion that the arrears were wrongly added to the bill of the complainant and set aside the demand. |
