Dated this the 7th day of December, 2006
JUDGMENT
The challenge is on Ext.P7 notice issued by the 4th
respondent. As per Ext.P7 petitioner was directed to club various
service connections at the premises of the petitioner. According to
the petitioner each connection is given to separate identifiable
premises with liberty to each consumer to have the purpose of its
own. It is submitted that the tariff is to be determined based on the
nature of consumption and hence separate connections are
necessary. Since Ext.P7 is only by the 4th respondent it is for the
petitioner to pursue the matter before the appellate authority.
Therefore the writ petition is disposed of as follows. Petitioner
may file an appeal before the Deputy Chief Engineer, Electrical
Circle, Kozhikode within a period of two months from today. The
matter will be duly considered by the said authority with notice to
the petitioner and appropriate orders in accordance with law in the
OP NO.37916/2002

matter will be passed with notice also to the other consumers also.
Subject to the petitioner filing the appeal as above, the interim
order in C.M.P.No.64016/2002 will continue till orders are passed
in the appeal.
