This query is : Resolved
Dear Sir
During March 2012 I received provisional bill from Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Co. Ltd (MSEDCL) ( Claim against civil liability ( Asessment ) of theft of electricity as per Indian Electricity Act 2003 u/s 135 and Compounding Charges.
At the same time my old electricity meter was changed to Electronic Meter and I had to also pay the new meter cost. I paid the provisional bill and compounding charges promptly by cash on receipt of the bills.
It was quiet shocking allegation against me as in our Society we do not have access to the meter room without the permission of the secretary.
Aggrieved by the false charge against me and giving no time for me to prove my innocence as I have to make the payment within 3 days as it is a non-bailable offence I made the payment promptly.
Subsequently I filed application under RTI on 21.4.12 but till date i.e 30.6.12 there is no reply. Whenever I visit the MSEDCL office I am told that I will get an answer for my RTI query shortly.
I request your goodself to guide me in this matter.
