           Dated this 2nd day of February, 2009

                        JUDGMENT

Koshy (Ag.C.J.)

In view of the decision of the Division Bench in Writ

Appeal No.808/1998, the appeals are liable to be

dismissed. The observation that the proposal to levy penal

charges should be published in the Gazette is carried on

is not necessary for deciding the case, as consequent

upon the establishment of the Electricity Regulatory

Commission, the said issue has become irrelevant. We see

no infirmity in the conclusions arrived at by the learned

single Judge. Writ appeals are accordingly dismissed.

J.B.KOSHY,
Acting Chief Justice

V.GIRI,
Judge
