The Tamil Nadu Electricity Regulatory Commission (TNERC) has ruled that once the energy used is fully recorded in the meter, there can be no inference of theft of electricity.
The ruling comes in a petition filed by Pollachi-based B. Balamurali, proprietor of Dhanu Enterprises, against Tangedco.
In his petition, Mr. Balamurali said the power drawn from Tangedco by his firm is used for curled coir and baling of coir fibre and sought for the service connection to be put under LT-IIIB tariff category instead of LT-V tariff as contended by the State utility.
