casestatus.in Summary

The Supreme Court allowed WBSEB's appeal and revised the High Court's order regarding a disputed electricity bill claim of Rs. 28.68 lakhs for alleged meter reading pilferage. The Court directed Fakir Chand Rice Mills to deposit Rs. 12 lakhs within two months (crediting any previously deposited Rs. 5.60 lakhs), reasoning that when a utility is obligated to supply electricity, an equal obligation must be cast on the consumer to pay pending final determination of the dispute.
