CALCUTTA ELECTRIC SUPPLY CORPORATION vs N.M. BANKA @ NATHMALL BANKA

The Supreme Court granted leave and allowed the appeal, directing the respondent to deposit Rs. 30 lakhs towards arrears owed to the appellant company within one month. The Court referred the dispute to the Chief Electrical Inspector, Calcutta, for resolution within two months of the deposit. It held that failure to deposit would allow the appellant to recover dues according to law, and attached the respondent's properties pending further orders, emphasizing the case as an abuse of court process under the Indian Electricity Act.
