6. Has Consumer forum any jurisdiction to try such case in which Mr. Y is not the consumer according to bills or records for electricity dept.
7. Since there is no privity of contract between Mr Y. and Electricity board so how is deficiency created?

I and my family are being badly opressed by a Non Veg.Hotel just beside me.In which non veg. items are processed from morning to late night.There are so many kinds of gaseous and solid substances in atmosphare and drains.Due to its bad smell to reside here is not possible.
Please suggest me how and with what act I should go on to get closed this Hotel.Is it possible or not ?
I am very thankful to all experts for giving yours valuable suggestions.In this connection I had gone to my local Municipality to know about its license but the officer is saying that Municipality is not licensing authority.
Please tell me who is the authority to issue a valid license for such hotels ?
