2016 (2) TMI 1358 - HC - Indian LawsRecovery towards electricity dues - liability of the dues on Director of the Body Corporate - Scope of expression 'consumer' is defined in Section 2 (15) of the Electricity Act, 2003 - whether the recovery of electricity dues is authorized as against a person who is not the consumer but a Director of a body corporate which is the consumer? HELD THAT:- The basis of the challenge is that the expression 'consumer' is defined in Section 2 (15) of the Electricity Act, 2003. The submission is that where a body corporate is a consumer, recovery cannot be enforced against its Directors. Hence, it has been submitted that the subordinate legislation is ultra vires. The issue requires consideration. The recovery citation shall not be enforced against the petitioner. However, this shall not restrain the enforcement of the amount due in accordance with law against the seventh respondent - List on 28 March 2016.
