casestatus.in Summary

Summary: Manik Lal Dutta v. West Bengal State Electricity Board (SLP(C) 7174/2004) Outcome: The Supreme Court disposed of the special leave petition and granted conditional relief. The Court directed that if petitioner Manik Lal Dutta deposits Rs. 21 lakhs in three equal monthly installments (April, May 15, and June 15, 2004), the electricity board must restore his connection upon payment of the first installment. Default on any installment would void this relief and permit disconnection. Background: The dispute arose from electricity charges where the petitioner faced provisional assessment of Rs. 12 lakhs (already paid) followed by a higher final assessment requiring deposit of Rs. 21 lakhs over three months. His connection was disconnected for non-compliance. The Court noted the merits of the final assessment would be examined in pending High Court proceedings.
