PGVCL Gariyadhar Through Its Deputy Engineer vs GU. RANCHHODBHAI NANJIBHAI VALA NA VARAS PUTRA KANJIBHAI RANCHHODBHAI VALA — 238/2025

Case Summary: RCS No. 238/2025 Court Decision: The court partially allowed PGVCL's claim against the respondent Ranchhodbhai Nanjibhai Vala. The court ordered the respondent to pay ₹95,411.22 with 6% annual interest from the date of claim until full recovery, and directed recovery from the respondent's property and assets. Key Reasoning: PGVCL (electricity supplier) established that the respondent owed dues for electricity consumption and failed to pay despite notice. The respondent did not contest the charges or appear before the court. The court found PGVCL's documentary evidence reliable and the respondent's electricity connection properly disconnected for non-payment. However, the court reduced the claimed interest rate from 18% to 6% per annum, finding the higher rate excessive under civil procedure principles.
