6 years ago

My name is Satish Garg from Faridabad and having Domestic Electricity Connection /2KW in my name meter installed outside premises on electric pole. in September 2017 my meter got automatically sticky and i immediately informed licensee. after 10 days my meter got replaced and after one month they send the old meter to their Lab where they said your meter has no tempering but is slow by 78% due to software defect. i respond that it was sticky so how can it be slow. they imposed a penalty of Rs.24000/- after 3 months for one year assessment. Dear Sir i have deposited the money due to fear of disconnection. i am in distress due to injustice done by electricity board as i denied any bribe to them. i know this whole act is crafted due to this. sir please advice should i go to consumer court?
