Punjab State Electricity Board & Anr vs Ashwani Kumar

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the National Consumer Dispute Redressal Commission dismissing the Electricity Board's review petition against the State Consumer Forum's order, which quashed demands for clubbing electric connections. The Court emphasized that the properties in question were distinct, supported by municipal numbering and separate property tax assessments, thus not falling under the same premises as per the relevant provisions. The Court affirmed that the demands raised by the Electricity Board were unjustified, reinforcing consumer rights under the Consumer Protection Act, 1986.
