Electricity board imposed penalty on us even after paying bills


18-Mar-2023 (In Consumer Court Law)

Hi , Recently there was an inspection done by one the reps from the electricity board , when he checked our meter , he said one of the phases of our meter is not working , so basically he meant we were not paying the whole amount since the last time my meter got replaced or checked that is around five years , now he is saying that we have to pay around 1,00,000 as penalty since it is our fault plus if we dont pay he will discontinue our power supply . Although he said if we give him 20000 he will make it all go away. Please tell me what to do ?

Dear owner its a case where meter guays do such kind of communication ,please use your common sense of judgement and resolve the issue m you dont need expert advice in this matter, people now a days dupe the landowners of the property, please consolidate all your bills and approach the respective electricity department engg to do the check up of the 3rd phase not working or whatever is the condition if you feel kindly engage a lawyer to handle your case
