Hon'ble Shri Justice Siddheshwar Sundarrao ThombreView PDF
The High Court of Bombay at Aurangabad dismissed the electricity distribution company's challenge to a Permanent Lok Adalat's compensation award to a farmer. The court held that the Lok Adalat had jurisdiction since electricity supply falls under "public utility services" under Section 22A(b)(iii) of the Legal Services Authorities Act, 1987, making the farmer's complaint maintainable despite him not being a direct consumer. The court upheld the compensation of Rs. 85,000 with 9% interest, finding it reasonable based on documented losses from a fire incident affecting his irrigation pipeline and sugarcane crop. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
