Hon'ble Pankaj Mithal,J. Hon'ble Saral Srivastava,J.
Heard Sri Thakur Prasad Dube, learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri Mahboob Ahmad, learned counsel for the respondent no.2.
The petitioner by means of this writ petition wants quashing of the recovery citation dated 07.08.2019 which is for a sum of Rs.52,333/- as electricity dues.
Submission of learned counsel for the petitioner is that he is regularly paying electricity bills and as such the demand is unjustified.
Sri Mahboob Ahmad points out that the aforesaid recovery is not in connection with the regular electricity bill rather it is on account of theft/unauthorized use of electricity.
Sri Mahboob Ahmad has supplied a copy of the checking report and the copy of the provisional assessment to the petitioner so that he may file objections if any against the same.
The petitioner accordingly may prefer objections if any before the Executive Engineer within a period of two weeks from today. In the event any such objections are filed, same shall be considered and decided by the Executive Engineer in accordance with law most expeditiously preferably within a period of six weeks thereafter.
Recovery citation which has been issued against the petitioner shall abide by the decision of the Executive Engineer.
The writ petition is disposed off.
