Demand of past bses electricity dues from transferee

Mr. A sold a house to Mr. B on 01.01.2008 and Mr. B sold that house to Mr. C on 01.01.2010. Mr. C got transferred the electricity connection of Mr. B in his name in May 2010, wherein there were no dues and bill was ZERO. Mr. C paid his all electricity bills regularly. Electricity Company raised a demand of Rs. 20,000 in August 2019 as arrear in bill to Mr. C for dues pending of Mr. A pertaining to period from year 2005 to year 2008. Never before this demand/ arrear were raised in electricity bill to Mr. C. This property is in Delhi, so DERC regulations are applicable. Kindly help me with providing any legal case as well to resolve following: 1. Can Electricity Company raise a demand after 12 years, while all these years they did not intimate Mr. C. 2. DERC regulations 2017, 4th Amendment (dt: 24.05.2019) provides as following: (iii) The request for transfer of connection shall not be approved unless all recoverable dues in respect of the concerned connection are fully paid: Provided that once connection is transferred, no dues / arrears shall be recovered from the new consumer. Although these regulations are prospective in nature, isn't it wrong on part of Electricity Company to not intimate demand/dues/arrear for 12 long years. Kindly help. Thanks in Advance.

Quash petition in ni 138 cases

Dear Sir,

We are fighting a NI 138 case in sessions court as accused convicted by the trial court, with lot of inputs I have received form this legal forum I have been reading through, I have found substantial evidence to rebut my case wherein the entire return memo sent by the bank was flawed. Bank name in legal notice is different that off return memo, bank branch is wrong, branch code was wrong, MICR code on the return memo was wrong and it only mentioned cheque no and so and so returned for so and so amount due to insufficient funds saying branch manager and some signature nor its a letter head nor seal/stamped. My present lawyer overlooked all this and I am seeking expert advice as we are at the argument stage in the sessions court now, with the entire return memo flawed from top to bottom what remedy do I have in place. I can consult anyone in person even if this is a paid service to seek a thorough advice on my case position.

Mr X has purchased a property and got it registered in 1997. Sale deed was executed by the power of attorney holder of the owner.
The property was originally a temple property which was managed by Mr 'Y' as a tenent and during 70s through the Land Reforms Act of Karnataka Mr 'Y' became the owner of the property. And through the Power of Attorney he sold it to X in 1997. In the year 2012, Mr Y's brother's son goes to the court claiming that it was a Joint family property and Mr Y had no rights to sell the property. And also claims that the POA's signature is fake.
The whole deal has taken place in Bangalore. An OS No. is generated and the notice is displayed near the property now.
Please clarify on the following ponts:
1. What is the locus standi of the petitioner in this case claiming the right over the property of which the ownership was got by his uncle as tenent through Land Reformation Act
2. Can he dispute a deal after 15 years of its taking place?
3 What is the way out for Mr X now?

Compensation to accident victim

There is a saying "If a person dies in a Motor vehicle accident, there is a Supreme Court judgment under MV Act 1988, that if the victim is filing ITR for the last 3 years, Govt. should give 10 times of his 3 years annual salary, as compensation." Is it correct. Kindly clarify.

Refusal by courier service to deliver

Dear sir
I got a courier sent by friend . At the time of taking the parcel for sending, the courier company did not raise any objection as to the delivery service area of the address. When the courier reached the place near to my address where the courier company has a branch, the branch people who received the parcel telephoned me and informed me that I have a courier. For that I asked them, being courier service they are supposed to deliver the parcel at the address mentioned on the cover. For that they said they can not deliver the parcel as the address is not covered by service area for delivery. And they asked me to come to their office to collect the parcel. For that I said I can not come to them and I would like to lodge a complaint. They said no problem and I can proceed. I immediately lodged online complaint with courier site. Later I found on the site a remark stating " CUSTOMER REFUSED DELIVERY". I immedaitaley gave another mail stating the facts and mentioned that I never refused to take delivery if the parcel is delivered at my address. There is no respones from their end. My query is will the action of courier people amounts to deficiency in service?. Do I have a defendalble case? Can I make complaint in consumer forum at my district head quarters.
Thanks and regards
Subrahmanyam

Necessity of rectification deed for home loans

Im selling a property in delhi which was purchased using a bank loan in 2001. Now when the buyer aproached for the loan and document verification was done it was noted there was an typing error in the seller (previous) name in the parent document and the sale deed. Now when we approached our previous seller for rectification deed he informed us that his partner is living in australia as the flat was purchased from the builder parters. Now the person whose name was errored has given me the affidavit stating both the names are same. Now my question is:
1- if the new buyer can proceed with the bank loan with the affidavit as a supporting document till the rectification deed is made.
2- for the rectification deed does both the partner sellers should be present or just the person whose name is errored sign the document?
