Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the Calcutta High Court's decision regarding the disconnection of electricity supply under the Electricity Act, 2003, specifically referencing Section 126 and Section 127. The Court established that the appellant-Board must follow due procedure before disconnecting supply and that the writ petitioner has the right to file objections and appeal against the final assessment. The Court affirmed the High Court's ruling that the disconnection was improper and imposed a compensation of Rs. 25,000 on the appellant-Board.
