1) The water utility can recover the losses by collecting a penalty, which will be the difference amount between the domestic and commercial tariff along with interest.
2) in addition it can file case of cheating against the firm under section 420 of IPC
3) if the PH department is hand in gloves with the offender and refuses to take action file writ in HC to direct it to take action against the defaulter
4) further concerned officers who are hand in glove with the offender can be prosecuted for entering into criminal conspiracy with the offender and for causing revenue loss to govt
Hello,
They have done theft of electricity as per section 135 of the Electricity Act and they are punishable, you must write a complaint to the concerned department.
Water utility can be recovered by the department and if by any chance the department refuses to do so or is acting in connivance with the firm then you can file a writ in the HC for the same.
Regards
1. cheating with conspiracy
2. You can prefer an appeal if they fail to provide information sought through RTI Act.
3. If authorities do not respond you may file a writ before high court.
4. You may consult a local advocate and with his help you may take up this matter legally.
Facts- 1.On the website of the dept.,the water connection date is shown to be 7th Nov,2007.In an RTI reply,the PH Dept says that there was an illegal connection in 2004(taken by tenant)which was "regularised"(in whose name,it was regularised,its not saying). I asked for the PH connection application under RTI(to know the date of connection),which the Dept is not submitting. 2.The PH dept is not submiting the records of its inspections when I ve asked for them under RTI.(especially the records of regularisation).In 2 inspections,they have submitted FALSE reports,that( a commercial )establishment is using water for domestic purpose. When I queried "Who is the user?Give the ID proof with valid documentation of stay in property",they have no answer & they are not giving any answer now under RTI. Qstn- 1.Kindly LIST the offences committed by the PH dept. & under what laws/sections are they punishable. 2.Taking the offences mentioned in my main qstn with this one,please suggest what CHARGES I SHOULD make in my representation to the Principal Secretary.
