Electricity bill reduced

Manoj Narsaria purchased a flat in Ranchi. He was given an electricity bill without the meter having been read for an amount exceeding Rs. 5,588. Scared that his electricity would be disconnected he deposited an amount of Rs.1,500 along with a protest letter. On 15 May he went to the chief engineer of the electricity board with the application for the correction of the electricity bill, but he was not heard. He submitted an RTI application and was surprised to see that the electricity bill was reduced to Rs. 302 within a week.
