W.P.(C) No. 1253 of 2008(Y)

Dated this the 10th day of January, 2008
JUDGMENT
A team of officers of the Electricity Board conducted an
inspection in the premise of the petitioner and prepared Ext.P1
site mahazar wherein it has been stated that the petitioner is
using her domestic electricity connection for the purpose of
conducting a tea shop and therefore, the tariff for supply has to
be changed. Pursuant thereto, Ext.P2 penal bill has been issued
to the petitioner. The petitioner filed Ext. P4 objection against
the same. The petitioner now seeks a direction to the 3rd
respondent to consider Ext.P4 and pass appropriate orders
thereof.
2. The learned sanding counsel for the Board submits
W.P.(C) No. 1253/2008/Y -2-
that Ext.P4 can be considered and orders passed in accordance
with law. Accordingly, I dispose of this writ petition with a
direction to the 3rd respondent to consider and pass appropriate
orders on Ext.P4 as expeditiously as possible. Till disposal of
Ext.P4, further coercive proceedings for recovery of the amounts
on Ext.P2 shall be kept in abeyance, if the petitioner pays 1/4th
of the amounts covered by Ext.P2.
S.SIRI JAGAN,
JUDGE
