Instead of making representations through technical persons on your part, file a consumer complaint, if any recovery is threatened, obtain stay therefrom and take the help of technical person in drafting the complaint if some technical matter is involved therein.

its a better case of consumer litigation and i agree with Mr. Makkad on this point....i ve often observed such litigation in the Consumer Forum.
civil suit in my opinion will be a lengthy process.

If it is charge of theft of electricity then no consumer complaint will lie. In Electricity Act, there is provisions of special courts where the complaint of theft shall be lodged by the department. You shall have to defend your case. If it is a showcause notice issued by the department asking you explain in person as to why they should not file a complaint against you, get a reply drafted by some expert and sumit it to the department in person. You can challenge the civil liability if fasten on you by the department without proving the theft.
