Authority: Calcutta High Court, Samar Division
Order Date: 13 August 2026
Case Overview
- Petitioners: Sri Ujjwal Pal & Anr.; Respondents: CESC Limited and others (including private respondent No. 6, previously respondent No. 5).
- The writ petition (WPA 15004 of 2026) sought removal of hazardous electrical wiring and relocation of the electricity meter at premises No. 42, Rani Rashmoni Road.
- Earlier, in WPA 24046 of 2023, CESC Ltd reported that shifting the meter was technically not feasible.
- On 9 September 2025, a Coordinate Bench ordered respondent No. 5 to relocate the internal wiring within two weeks and to pay costs of Rs 5,000 to the petitioners within the same period.
- On 14 July 2026, respondent No. 6 claimed willingness to relocate but cited non‑cooperation by the petitioners; the Court warned that failure could lead to disconnection of electricity supply for the erring party.
- At the present hearing, both petitioners and respondent No. 6 affirmed that the wiring relocation has been completed and that the Rs 5,000 cost has been paid to the petitioners.
Final Outcome
- The Court found no further matters to be ordered and disposed of WPA 15004 of 2026.
- No additional costs were imposed.
- An urgent certified copy of the order may be supplied to the parties upon proper application.
