Electricity Dept ordered to pay compensation
Chandigarh, January 29 While passing the judgment, the Commission observed that the callous attitude of the Electricity Department in replacing a defective electricity meter with another defective meter resulted in harassment to the consumer. The department forced the consumer to pay the dues of Rs 26, 408 when he went to get no-dues certificate from the department. The consumer, Mr V.P. Aggarwal, in his application lamented that he was allotted a government accommodation in Sector 39 on rental basis in 1994. He remained in the house till March 27, 2000, but the electricity department did not issue the bill till the time of his superannuation. On his retirement, he had to vacate the house and no-dues certificate was required from the electricity department. At the time of vacation, the electricity department issued a bill of Rs 26, 408 on average basis instead of actual consumption basis. Earlier, the state commission had directed the department to pay Rs 5000 as compensation and Rs 500 as litigation expenses. Dissatisfied with the order, the consumer went to the National Commission.
