2018 (4) TMI 1807 - HC - Indian LawsRefusal to sanction of the 500 KVA electricity power connection to the firm - Liability of petitioner to make payment of dues, payable by the previous owner - HELD THAT:- It is not in dispute that the subject property was purchased by the respondent-writ petitioner in a public auction conducted by Syndicate Bank under the provisions of the SARFAESI Act. It is not even the case of the appellant that, by the auction notice, the respondent-writ petitioner was made aware that they would be liable to pay electricity dues of the previous owner. While the appellants are entitled to recover the dues from the previous owner, they cannot refuse to grant a fresh power connection to the respondent-writ petitioner, as he has, admittedly, no connection with the previous owner and had purchased the subject property in a public auction conducted by Syndicate Bank. Appeal dismissed.
