Electricity Disconnection Without Inspection Report Violates Burden of Proof | Rajasthan SCDC Remands Case Under Electricity Act, 2003 : Rajasthan State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission
The Rajasthan State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission ruled that electricity disconnection without documentary evidence, such as inspection reports, fails to meet the burden of proof under the Electricity Act, 2003 and Safety Regulations. The case was remanded for fresh consideration, emphasizing that service providers must substantiate disconnection grounds with technical evidence to avoid arbitrary actions.
