    The court dismissed the writ petition filed by Asim Maity seeking compensation under Section 161 of the Electricity Act for his father's alleged electrocution death in 2013. The dismissal was based on gross and unexplained delay—the petitioner made no representation for 10 years until September 2023, then filed the petition in 2026, violating the principle that writ petitions must be filed at the earliest opportunity to avoid agitation of stale claims. No costs were imposed. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
