Dear Sirs,
For the first time in our country, the Electricity Act 2003 has provided for a provision under its section 153 for the constitution of Special Courts for trial of offences referred to in different section of the Act. The said special Courts are empowered with the power to determine the civil liability also under subsection 5 of Sectionb 154 of the Electricity Act and by virtue of the provisions of section 155 of the Act, such special courts hav power of Court of Session.
As per the provisions under section 145 of the Electricity Act 2003, the jurisdiction of civil courts have also been barred in respect of certain matters stipulated therein.Section 135 of the Act deals with the theft of electricity while section 126 deals with unauathorised use of electricity. There is a specific provision under section 127 of the Act for appeal againist the decision of assessing officer made under section 126 whereas for theft of electricity, the remedy lies to the Special Courts created under section 153.
Now my question is, whether considering the aftersaid provisions it can be concluded that no other courts/forum other than the Special Court has jurisdiction for trial of offences and other related matters including determination of civil liability for theft of electricity or not. Further, whether the consumer courts are competent to interfere in the case of proceedings for theft or unautherised use electricity cases initiated by the Electricity Companies or not.
Further, considering the fact that specific appellate forum has been provided for unauthorised use of electricity cases, whether it would be tenable for the consumer forum to interfere with such cases or not.
Sorry for the lengthy question, but the issues are of vital importance to all persons and therefore, may I request the experts to throw more lights with legal authorities please.

A private college was penalised with around Rs 12 lakhs as damages for violating the provisions under EPF & MP Act, which is also an offence under breach of trust if IPC. Later his employees approached the asst pf commissioner. For this violation, pf commissioner penalised with aforesaid amount as damages and reinstated the provisions intact. can this be waived off on any grounds?
