Section 126/135 Electricity Act | Consumer Fora Lack Jurisdiction Over Theft Recovery Disputes : MP State CDRC
MP State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission rules that consumer forums cannot adjudicate disputes under Sections 126 and 135 of the Electricity Act, 2003, as these fall under the exclusive jurisdiction of specialized authorities. The ruling bars consumers from seeking relief for unauthorized electricity use recoveries through consumer courts, reinforcing statutory exclusions in sector-specific laws.
