Orders
Summary The Calcutta High Court's Circuit Bench at Jalpaiguri ordered the West Bengal State Electricity Distribution Company Limited to restore electricity connection to petitioner Sajan Kumar Jha within three weeks, holding that deprivation of electricity constitutes violation of the right to life. The court recognized the petitioner's permissive occupation status and ruled that while eviction proceedings are pending, he cannot be denied essential services, though the electricity grant remains subject to the outcome of those proceedings. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
