MUNICIPAL CORPORATION OF DELHI vs AJANTA IRON & STEEL CO. (PVT.) LTD.

The Supreme Court held that the Delhi Electricity Supply Undertaking's failure to serve notice before disconnecting electricity supply violated the conditions of service, as mandated by the relevant regulations. The Court distinguished this case from Jagarnath Singh v. B.S. Ramaswamy, emphasizing that the allegations of theft must be proven in a proper trial. The appeal by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi was dismissed, affirming the lower courts' decisions without costs.
