    Case Summary: The High Court at Calcutta dismissed the writ petition of Sanjoy Mondal challenging the West Bengal State Electricity Distribution Company's refusal to provide an electricity connection for his submersible pump. The court upheld the company's action, noting that the petitioner had engaged in repeated electricity theft in 2024 and 2025 with outstanding dues remaining unpaid, and had failed to provide payment instructions for the remaining 50% of outstanding dues as directed. The court found no grounds to exercise discretion in favor of the petitioner given his history of repeated theft offenses.
