Mr.R.S.Pandiyaraj\n^For Respondents... No Appearance (R1)\n\t\t    Mr.M.Suresh Kumar (TNEB) (R2 &amp; R3)\n\n:ORDER\n<\/pre>\n<p>\tHeard the learned counsels appearing on behalf of the parties concerned.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t2. Even though various averments have been made and many grounds had been<br \/>\nraised in the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition, the main<br \/>\ngrievance of the petitioner is that the impugned demand notice\/bill in respect<br \/>\nof the peak hour penalty has been issued by the third respondent, without due<br \/>\nnotice being given to the petitioner and without affording sufficient<br \/>\nopportunity of hearing to the petitioner.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t3. The learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner has stated<br \/>\nthat the third respondent has no authority, under the relevant provisions of the<br \/>\nlaw, to levy the penalty, without the prior approval of the Tamil Nadu<br \/>\nElectricity Regulatory Commission, which is the competent statutory authority,<br \/>\nestablished in accordance with the Electricity Act, 2003.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t4. It has been further stated that the third respondent had failed to<br \/>\nfollow the procedures laid down, under paragraph No.33 of the order, made in<br \/>\nM.P.No.42 of 2008, dated 28.11.2008, issued by the Tamil Nadu Electricity<br \/>\nRegulatory Commission. Therefore, the impugned demand notice\/bill issued by the<br \/>\nthird respondent is liable to be set aside.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t5. Mr.M.Suresh Kumar the learned counsel, appearing on behalf of the<br \/>\nsecond and the third respondents, had not refuted the claims made by the learned<br \/>\ncounsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner. However, he had submitted that if<br \/>\nthis Court deems it fit to set aside the impugned demand notice\/bill of the<br \/>\nthird respondent, liberty may be granted to the third respondent to pass<br \/>\nappropriate orders, afresh, after due notice is issued to the petitioner.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t6. In view of the submissions made by the learned counsels appearing for<br \/>\nthe petitioner, as well as the respondents, and in view of the orders passed by<br \/>\nthis Court, in a number of writ petitions, wherein similar issues have been<br \/>\nraised, the impugned demand notice\/bill, issued by the third respondent, is set<br \/>\naside. However, it would be open to the third respondent to pass appropriate<br \/>\norders, afresh, including the issuing of the appropriate demand notice\/bill,<br \/>\nafter giving due notice and after affording sufficient opportunity of hearing to<br \/>\nthe petitioner.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t7. After due notice is issued by the third respondent, the petitioner<br \/>\nwould be at liberty to challenge the same, if it is found necessary to do so, by<br \/>\nraising all the grounds available to the petitioner, including those which have<br \/>\nbeen raised in this writ petition. It would also be open to the petitioner to<br \/>\nraise the ground that the third respondent has no authority to levy the penalty,<br \/>\non the ground that it is against the dictum laid down by the Tamil Nadu<br \/>\nRegulatory Commission, in M.P.No.42 of 2008, dated 28.11.2008.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t8. In case the petitioner had already paid the bill amount it would be<br \/>\nadjusted to the amounts that may be claimed by the Tamilnadu Electricity Board,<br \/>\nin the future bills relating to the petitioner, in case the final decision is in<br \/>\nfavour of the petitioner. The petitioner shall fully cooperate by participating<br \/>\nin the inquiry or hearing that may be held by the concerned authorities of the<br \/>\nrespondent Electricity Board.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\tThe writ petition is ordered accordingly. No costs.
