The Delhi State Commission ruled that it was justified for a power distribution company to demand payment of outstanding dues before granting a new electricity connection. In this case, the Commission upheld the power company’s decision, stating that consumers must clear all previous dues before receiving new services. The ruling highlights the importance of settling outstanding bills to avoid disruption of services, particularly in public utility sectors. The decision aims to ensure that service providers are not unduly burdened by unpaid dues, protecting their financial interests while promoting responsible consumer behavior.
