Adapting to the ‘new normal’ in the wake of Covid-19, BSES Rajdhani Power Limited (BRPL) and BSES Yamuna Power Limited (BYPL) will organise an ‘online’ and ‘hybrid’ Lok Adalats for an amicable on-the-spot settlement of power-theft cases in South, West, East and Central Delhi.
This will be organised in association with the Delhi State Legal Services Authority (DSLSA). Lok Adalat for BRPL consumers will be organised on December 11 and BYPL consumers can participate on December 11 and 12, a senior BSES official said.
The official said that consumers desirous of settling their power-theft cases can use this opportunity for an amicable and on-the-spot settlement of their power theft cases, relating to both Direct Theft (DT) and Meter Tampering (DAE).
Cases that are either pending in any court of law or are yet to be filed in any Court of Law shall be taken up by the Lok Adalats, he added.
While announcing the upcoming Lok-Adalats, BSES spokesperson said “These special events help resolve cases quickly. This exercise is a win-win for everybody. For the consumers, it means an opportunity to amicably settle their cases and an escape from a prolonged and expensive legal process. For an over worked judiciary, it means some burden off their Courts. For BSES, it means, more people coming into the billing net. Infact, over 37,000 cases have been resolved in last 24 Special Loks Adalats."
