Overloading includes “unauthorised use of electricity” under Electricity Act; Delhi High Court reiterates
In Southern Electricity Supply Co. of Orissa Ltd. v. Sri Seetaram Rice Mill, (2012) 2 SCC 108, Supreme Court held that where a consumer has used excessive load as against the installed load simpliciter and there is violation of the terms and conditions of supply, then, the case would fall under Section 126 of Electricity Act, 2003.
