Originally, the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner   challenged    the    demand   for   arrears,    by   filing<\/p>\n<p>O.P.No.10528\/2003, in which, by Ext.P3 judgment dated 2.4.2003,<\/p>\n<p>there was a direction to the Executive Engineer, KSEB, Thalassery, to<\/p>\n<p>dispose of a representation filed by the petitioner. Pursuant to the<\/p>\n<p>same, Ext.P4 order was passed by the Executive Engineer, wherein,<\/p>\n<p>the demand was confirmed. The petitioner again challenged the<\/p>\n<p>demand by filing W.P.(C).No.27629\/2003, in which, by Ext.P5 interim<\/p>\n<p>order dated 28.8.2003, disconnection was stayed on payment of an<\/p>\n<p>amount of ` 1 lakh by the petitioner within one month. The petitioner<\/p>\n<p>did not pay that amount. Ultimately, by Ext.P6 judgment dated<\/p>\n<p>28.11.2007, the writ petition was finally dismissed confirming the<\/p>\n<p>demand from the petitioner. Thereafter, by Ext.P7, the petitioner was<\/p>\n<p>directed to pay the defaulted amount. The petitioner is challenging the<\/p>\n<p>said revenue recovery proceedings on the ground of limitation.<\/p>\n<p>According to the petitioner, once pursuant to Ext.P5 interim order, the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner did not pay the amount as directed in the interim order, the<\/p>\n<p>limitation would run from that date and, therefore, Ext.P7 proceedings<\/p>\n<p>initiated on 6.8.2008 more than three years after the date of Ext.P5,<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">w.p.c.28751\/08                       2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>viz., 28.8.2003, is barred by limitation. According to the petitioner, as<\/p>\n<p>per the judgment of the Supreme Court in <a href=\"\/doc\/650357\/\">State of Kerala v.<\/p>\n<p>V.R.Kalliyanikutty<\/a> [1999 (2) KLT 146 (SC)], limitation is applicable<\/p>\n<p>to proceedings under the Revenue Recovery Act also and the recovery<\/p>\n<p>of the arrears of electricity charges from the petitioner is clearly barred<\/p>\n<p>by limitation.\n<\/p>\n<p>      2.     A counter affidavit has been filed by the Board, wherein<\/p>\n<p>they take the contention that there is no limitation. According to them,<\/p>\n<p>the issue was live till W.P.(C).No.27629\/2003 was dismissed on<\/p>\n<p>28.11.2007 by Ext.P6 judgment and limitation would run only from<\/p>\n<p>that date. Even apart from the same, according to them, arrears of<\/p>\n<p>electricity charges are recoverable as arrears of land revenue by virtue<\/p>\n<p>of Regulation 15(d) of the Conditions of Supply of Electrical Energy<\/p>\n<p>and, in such cases, going by the ratio of the decision of this Court in<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/doc\/83274693\/\">Inspector, Toddy Workers Welfare Fund Board v. M.S.Vijayan<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[2009 (1) KHC 465], the period of limitation is 30 years under Article<\/p>\n<p>112 of the Limitation Act and therefore, in any event, there is no<\/p>\n<p>limitation.\n<\/p>\n<p>      3.     In answer to the same, the counsel for the petitioner relies<\/p>\n<p>on the judgment of a learned Single Judge of this Corut in W.P.(C).<\/p>\n<p>No.19066\/2005, wherein the limitation prescribed for recovery of<\/p>\n<p>arrears of electricity was held to be three years.\n<\/p>\n<p>      4.     I have considered the rival contentions in detail.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">w.p.c.28751\/08                      3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>      5.     No doubt, the Supreme Court has held in Kalliyanikutty&#8217;s<\/p>\n<p>case (supra) that limitation is applicable to proceedings under the<\/p>\n<p>Revenue Recovery Act itself, but the question is as to from which date<\/p>\n<p>the limitation would run and what is the period of limitation. In this<\/p>\n<p>case, the demand for arrears of electricity charges by the Electricity<\/p>\n<p>Board was continuously under challenge at the hands of the petitioner<\/p>\n<p>and the liability of the petitioner was finally decided only by Ext.P6<\/p>\n<p>judgment dated 28.11.2007. Therefore, according to me, the limitation<\/p>\n<p>would run only from that date. If that be so, the revenue recovery<\/p>\n<p>notice issued on 6.8.2008 is clearly within time. Even otherwise, in the<\/p>\n<p>decision cited by the counsel for the Board it has been specifically held<\/p>\n<p>that when under law amounts due are liable to be recovered as arrears<\/p>\n<p>of land revenue, the period of limitation applicable is under Regulation<\/p>\n<p>112 of the Limitation Act, which is 30 years. In view of the above, I do<\/p>\n<p>not think that the decision in W.P.(C).No.19066\/2005 cited by the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner can be followed to decide this case. Therefore, I hold that<\/p>\n<p>the initiation of revenue recovery proceedings is well within time. Since<\/p>\n<p>the liability has already been confirmed by Ext.P6 judgment, the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner cannot now escape from the liability to pay the arrears. In<\/p>\n<p>the above circumstances, this writ petition is dismissed.<\/p>\n<p>                                                        Sd\/-\n<\/p>\n<pre>sdk+                                              S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE\n          \/\/\/True copy\/\/\/\n\n                              P.A. to Judge\n\nw.p.c.28751\/08    4\n\n<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kerala High Court V.P.E.
