Summary The court allowed the electricity company's appeal against the trial court's dismissal of its recovery suit. The appellate court held that civil courts have jurisdiction to entertain electricity debt recovery cases involving alleged theft or unauthorized use, distinguishing such claims from cases falling under Section 126 (unauthorized use assessment) of the Electricity Act, 2003, which are handled administratively. The trial court erred in rejecting the plaint under CPC Order 7, Rule 11 without proper consideration, and the matter was remanded for proceedings on merits.
