Regional electric networks enterprise «Hududiy elektr tarmoqlari» JSC demanded the recovery of 222 million 17 thousand 400 soms for unmetered electricity from «Xorazm Şoxabbos» LLC. However, the dispute, which was reviewed in several instances, ultimately ended in favor of the business entity at the Supreme Court.
According to the entrepreneur, this case not only caused financial damage to his enterprise, but also resulted in him being kept in custody for two months. Later, he was acquitted within the framework of the criminal case.
The dispute began after an inspection conducted on June 19, 2024. According to the entrepreneur's statement, the inspection allegedly revealed a violation in the calculation of electricity, and a large amount of damages was calculated for the enterprise.
A criminal case was initiated regarding this situation, and the entrepreneur was kept in custody for two months. Later, the criminal court acquitted him.
After that, «Hududiy elektr tarmoqlari» JSC applied to the economic court, asking to recover 222 million 17 thousand 400 soms from «Xorazm Şoxabbos» LLC.
On June 2, 2025, the Shavat interdistrict economic court fully satisfied the claim. On July 24, the appellate instance of the Khorezm regional court also left this decision unchanged.
However, the case did not end there.
On April 23, 2026, the cassation instance of the Bukhara regional court reduced the amount scheduled for recovery to 135 million 626 thousand 817 soms.
Displeased with this decision as well, the enterprise filed a complaint with the Supreme Court.
During the review of the case in the Supreme Court, additional evidence was requested. It was also found necessary to involve a specialist from the Inspectorate for Control of the Use of Energy, Petroleum Products and Gas. For this reason, the court hearing was postponed to September 29, 2026.
Finally, on October 27, 2026, the cassation instance of the Supreme Court satisfied the enterprise's complaint.
The previous decisions of the lower courts were canceled, and the claim of «Hududiy elektr tarmoqlari» JSC against «Xorazm Şoxabbos» LLC was rejected.
Thus, court decisions on a single dispute changed several times: initially, the recovery of more than 222 million soms from the entrepreneur was determined, then the amount was reduced by nearly 86.4 million soms, and ultimately the claim was completely rejected.
A notable aspect of this case is that the initial decisions that determined the entrepreneur's obligation were re-examined in higher instances and ultimately canceled.
The entrepreneur evaluates this process as his fight for the truth.
«I found the truth from the Supreme Court», — he says.
The drastic change in court decisions at various stages in this case raises questions about how thoroughly the evidence, calculations, and circumstances of the case were studied in each instance.
