Kiran Tanaji Katte vs Deputy Engineer Maharashtra state Electricity Board Advocate - Satbhai S.S. — 70/2023

SUMMARY The court rejected the plaintiff's application for a temporary mandatory injunction against the Maharashtra State Electric Distribution Company. The court found that under Section 145 of the Electricity Act, 2003, civil courts lack jurisdiction to entertain disputes regarding electricity assessment bills and disconnections, which fall exclusively under the purview of assessing officers and appellate authorities. The plaintiff was advised to seek remedies through the statutory appeal process under Section 127 of the Electricity Act instead.
