Summary: The High Court dismissed WPA 9203/2026 filed by Sekh Mahasin against WBSEDCL's provisional and final assessment bills for alleged illegal electricity theft. The court ruled the writ petition was not maintainable because the petitioner failed to utilize the statutory alternative remedy under the Electricity Act, 2003, the appeal period had expired under Section 127, and there was undue delay in approaching the court. The petitioner's attempt to revive a stale claim by bypassing statutory mechanisms was deemed untenable. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
