Mohit Agrawal @ Montu v. State of U P and 3 Others
Electricity connection – Separate connection sought by son occupying a portion of premises
Case brief
What is this about?
WRIT - C No. 11090 of 2020, decided 15.12.2020 (bench: Sunita Agarwal and Jayant Banerji, JJ.). Petitioner living separately in a portion of the disputed premises sought a separate electricity connection; the existing connection is in his father's name with dues outstanding. Court held such dues are a charge over the property, realisable from any occupant or owner by due process of law, and refused the new connection; petition dismissed. No statutory provisions or precedents cited; no quantum of dues stated.
What did the court decide?
Since the dues pertaining to the electricity connection in respect of the property-in-question are outstanding, the court cannot permit the petitioner to get a new electricity connection in the premises. ¶7
