The IPS was installed at the same time. another was not installed till 2009. There was several requests to install the same. At last there was serious exchange of words between the Officer of MSEDC, resulted in revengeful action.

Premises of Shridhar Malokar was raided and booked for theft case, but it is surprisingly he was booked dfor the offence of theft for tampering the meter which was not installed in his primises. The Commercial Supply was shown to be permanantly disconnected as tampered. The spot inspection report is prepaired in that regard.

Again the assesment bill for the electricity theft was supplied to the consumer. But here the MSEDC made the mistake. The bill was sent with the consumer no. of Industrial power supply and charged in the bill of the Industrial Power supply connection. Do u under stand how it happned? very simple because there was no bill and record of the commercial supply.

The complainant Shridhar Malokar  was threatned for the disconnection of the electric connection of Industrial power Supply if he not paid the assesed bill. being affraied of the loosing the power helpful to earnhis livelihood the bill was paid.

Now the consumer complaint is filled against the MSEDC. whether the consumer forum is having jurisdiction, it is challenged by the MSEDC that it is a theft case. Please help
