Ramesh Chand Gola v. State of U.P. and 2 Others
Case brief
What is this about?
A two-judge bench dismissed a writ petition filed regarding a disputed electricity bill. The court held that the petitioner has an alternative statutory remedy under the U.P. Electricity Supply Code, 2005, and thus was not inclined to entertain the writ petition. The petitioner was granted a stay on coercive action for seven weeks. The petition was finally disposed of.
What did the court decide?
Stay on coercive action for seven weeks; a direction to the appropriate authority to decide the petitioner's representation within four weeks.
