consumer case against the electricity board for wrongful extra bill


22-Sep-2023 (In Consumer Court Law)
I got a electricity bill of 7000 units but my average is around 1000 units and when I asked about this from the electricity board they told that your landlord told us to increase the bill. There is a case between me and my landlord that is in the court. Now he showed a wrong bill in the court. Now should I file a consumer case against the electricity board and what kind of relief I can get.

You may file a consumer court case against the electricity board as you do not have any documentary evidence of the fact that your landlord asked them to increase the bill.
You may place this on record in your existing case if anyone from the electricity board is ready to provide you an affidavit of this statement.

Certainly you have a case of exorbitant electricity bill, but consumer courts are restraining themselves from entertaining assessments made by the authorities under the Act. So you are advised to approach Appellate Electricity Tribunal for your redress established under the Act which is appropriate authority.
