JUDGMENT
The electric connection to the petitioner’s Unit which is
stated to be a Sea Foods Unit, stands disconnected, submits the
learned counsel for the petitioner. This is for non payment of
the electricity charges. There is no illegality as such alleged.
Financial stringency faced by the petitioner is the reason stated.
Instalment facility is sought. Learned standing counsel
appearing for the respondent Electricity Board submits that the
petitioner is bound to pay the regular bills and the Electricity
Board also is facing acute financial difficulties. In such
circumstances, the Writ Petition is disposed of as follows:
If the petitioner pays Rs.1,50,000/= (Rupees One Lakh and
Fifty Thousand) with reconnection charges, the electric
connection will be forthwith restored on condition that the
balance amount remaining to be paid will be paid within a
period of one month from today with interest accrued.
