                  W.P.(C) No. 21523 OF 2008 K
             ````````````````````````````````````````````````````
               Dated this the 17th day of July, 2008

                           J U D G M E N T

Petitioner calls in question Exts.P6, P9 and P10.

Ext.P9 is the order dated 30.6.2008 passed apparently under

section 126 of the Electricity Act. Ext.P10 is the communication

from the Assistant Engineer by which the petitioner has been

called upon to pay the amount by 21.7.2008 failing which the

electric connection will be disconnected.

2. I heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned

standing counsel. There is a right of appeal to the petitioner

which can be exercised within thirty days from the date of the

order. Learned standing counsel points out that the petitioner can

file appeal on or before 30.7.2008.

3. In such circumstances, writ petition is disposed of

relegating the petitioner to pursue the appellate remedy available

under section 127 of the Act. There will be no disconnection of

power supply till 30.7.2008.
