This Court has granted stay against disconnection on payment of Rs. 20,000/-. Since petitioner can file objections against provisional bill, this writ petition is disposed of directing the petitioner to file objections against the bill soon. Respondents 1 or 2, as the case may be, will consider the objections and finalise the bill by a detailed order. If petitioner has any grievance against the bill so finalised, he can file statutory appeal under Section 127 of the Electricity Act, 2003. If petitioner has paid Rs. 20,000/- in terms of order dated 20/07/2007, there will be direction to the respondents not to disconnect supply till the time given to the petitioner to make payment for the balance amount as per the final bill.
