WPA 9208/2026 Summary The court dismissed the writ petition filed by Liyakat Sekh challenging WBSEDCL's provisional assessment (12.08.2025) and final bill (08.09.2025) for alleged illegal electricity hookup. The court held the petition not maintainable because the petitioner failed to exhaust statutory remedies under the Electricity Act, 2003 and filed the statutory appeal after the deadline expired under Section 127. The court found the attempt to revive a stale claim by bypassing statutory mechanisms untenable, citing undue delay in approaching the court. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
