electricity theft notice followed by RC from tehsildar
05-Aug-2023 (In Criminal Law)
We had received a notice (by post) of electricity theft from electricity department in 2021. The response was filed immediately by post. The charge is completely baseless. Now suddenly we have received notice of recovery from Tehsildar for Rs one lac +. We have again replied to electricity department in person also by giving the old reference. Tehsildar says he cannot do anything about it. NO action by electricity department. What is the remedy for permanent resolution?
In your query, you have received notice but you have not mentionwd the content of notice and amount involved. you must have postal slip of registryor UPC under which you had send your reply to the electricity department. It has also not mentioned by you that the department has sent any summon for your appearance before the adjudication authority prior to issuance of the impugned order. you have to take prompt action in your matter. you should immediately contact to the electricity department and get the certified copy of the order 9pon which basis the recovery certificate issued by the department for recovery of Rs.1.00 lakhs+ with request to tahsildar to recover the same. Tahsildar cannot help you. sometimes staff of tahsil can make some delay in initiation of recovery. If the afford order has passed without providing the opportunity of personal. I have some solution in my mind on your problem but the same is depend after perusal of the documents and discussion about the facts, circumstances, evidences in your case.
