HON'BLE JUSTICE RAVI KRISHAN KAPUR

The Calcutta High Court dismissed Parimal Mandal's writ petition challenging WBSEDCL's assessment order dated 28 January 2026 for alleged electricity theft. The court rejected his plea for condonation of delay in filing the statutory appeal, noting that Section 127 of the Electricity Act 2003 imposes a statutory embargo preventing extension of the prescribed limitation period, and that adequate statutory appeal mechanisms were available. WBSEDCL was granted liberty to take coercive action in accordance with law. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
