The dispute in this writ petition is between the Bharat Sanchar

Nigam Ltd., and the Kerala State Electricity Board, two Government

entities. Several of their earlier disputes on identical questions were

referred to a High Power Committee constituted for that purpose, in

view of the Supreme Court decisions to the effect that disputes

between Governmental entities should not be dragged to the courts.

In view of the same, the learned standing counsel for the Kerala State

Electricity Board submits that this dispute would also be referred to

the High Power Committee.

In the above circumstances, the writ petition is closed

recording the said undertaking. The High Power Committee shall

give its decision within four months of entering on the disputes. Till

then, status quo as on today shall be maintained.

Sd/- S. Siri Jagan, Judge.
