Subject: Inspection of the electric meter and repair.
Under the instructions and authority given by my clients Mr.
Ahmed Mushfiq Hasan Siddiqui residing at Plot No 2 Professors
colony, N 12/B, Harsool road Delhi Gate Aurangabad
Maharashtra. I am here by giving you this legal notice as under:
Brief facts of the case in order to ascertain the real
controversy between the parties are as under:-
1) That, my client is residing at the address mentioned above.
That my client had the residential house on the above
address and has the electricity connection from your
company vide consumer no 490010479085. That the said
electricity connection is in the name of Late. Mohammed
Mushfiq Hasan Siddiqui who was father of my client.
2) That, Late. Mohammed Mushfiq Hasan Siddiqui was the
employee of your company as the Assistant Engineer. That
the electricity connection was provided from your company
for the residential purpose. That in the month of
September, 2016 there was the problem in the meter in
respect of fast running. Therefore Late. Mohammed
Mushfiq Hasan Siddiqui approached your company in that
regard and requested to solve the grievance. Unfortunately
there was no positive action from you end therefore my
client filed the written complaint in respect of the
inspection and the repair of meter on 13/10/2016. But till
today there is neither reply given from your company nor
any action taken from you.
3) That my client had deposited Rs. 150/- towards the meter
inspection on 04/07/2016. Thereafter in the year 2019 on
24/01/2019 the spot inspection was done from your officer
and the information was filled as per the inspection which
is not disputed. There is also no adverse remark in respect
of the meter box, body and thermal cover. However your
officer did not mentioned anything as remark. That the spot
inspection done by your officer was useless as the meter
problem was not yet solved and still my client was being
victim of higher bill amount.
4) That my client had deposited an amount of Rs. 20000/- on
04/07/2016, Rs. 20000/- on 15/02/2017, Rs. 15000/- on
15/05/2017 and Rs. 10000/- on 19/10/2016. That my
client had time to time deposited the huge amount for
which he was not at all liable to pay legally. That you had
always issued the bill at the higher level such as 29360/-
on 28/08/2016, 174530/- on 25/03/2019, Rs. 59770 on
03/05/2017, Rs. 54420/-, Rs. Rs. 59600/- on
26/01/2017, Rs. 36860/- on 25/08/2016. That the bills
issued from you to my client are total arbitrary and
baseless. It is pertinent to note that the bills issued from
you are for the residential purpose therefore the bills
generated from you is nothing but the non application of
mind. That my client had always shown their bonafinde to
pay the bill but unfortunately there is no positive in action
from your end.
5) Therefore you are hereby called upon to repair the meter
and thereafter issue the proper bill and recall your previous
bills, further inform to your client not to harass my client
otherwise my clients will be constrained to initiate civil as
well as criminal proceedings against your client before the
competent court of law and as a result you client will also

consequences. Failing which my clients will be constrained
to initiate legal proceedings against your client for recovery
of above claimed amount before the competent court of law
and as a result you client will also be personally held liable
for the future cost and consequences. Your client is also
