The High Court of Punjab and Haryana allowed Anjali's petition seeking compensation for her husband's death from electrocution in August 2019. The court held that under the July 2019 notification, UHBVN bears strict liability for accidents on its electrical network regardless of negligence, and the April 2024 amended policy (excluding negligence cases) cannot be applied retrospectively. The court directed UHBVN to calculate and release compensation to the petitioner under the original 2019 notification. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
