               Dated this the 7th day of April, 2010


                              JUDGMENT

The petitioner remitted the electricity charges and other

dues. However, the interest component that had accrued on the

arrear was not paid. The petitioner, with the passage of time,

says that the interest ought to have been waived as the matter

was pending before the appellate authority. This is a ground on

which the petitioner could move the Consumer Grievances

Redressal Forum for redressal of the grievances, including by

way of reduction in the total outstandings or waiver of interest.

Without prejudice to that right of the petitioner, this writ petition

is dismissed.
