The Business Guardian|September 09, 2024
The court also stated that the mere fact that there was a leakage from the said wire of the private-consumer or shopkeeper cannot allude culpability or any negligence which being on the part of BSES and despite the known general risks associated with electricity transmission, there still remains a contingency that the incident could not have been prevented without a prior complaint made to BSES.

The Delhi High Court in the case Shagufta Ali v. Government Of NCT Of Delhi And Ors observed and has ordered BSES Yamuna Private Limited to pay ex-gratia lump sum compensation for an amount of Rs. 10 lakh to wife of a man who died due to electrocution in the year 2017.

The bench headed by Purushaindra Kumar Kaurav in the case was hearing the petition filed by women seeking compensation of Rs. 50 lakhs.

In the present case, her husband was working as a Sub-Inspector since 1990 in Delhi Police (Traffic).

In May 2017, he ran to find a shelter and while trying to protect himself from rain, he came in contact with a channel gate and he got electrocuted.

However, the chargesheet was filed against the shopkeeper from whose shop the current was allegedly flowing to the channel gate.
