Consumer Protection Act_Practical Problems_6

I had applied for electricity connection. However, power supply was not provided to me. Can I seek redressal of my grievance in Consumer Court?

Your grievances is that you application for electricity connection was not granted. Electricity may be a service but the hiring of the service is not complete till the Electricity Board sanctions
service. Hence, you can’t approach a Consumer Court for redressal of your said grievance. Your remedy is to file a civil suit in the Court of law against the Electricity Board.
