On 29.2.2008 electricity connection was also transferred in the name of the petitioner. It is stated that for the period from 4/2006 to 12/2007 Ext.P3 bill is issued and petitioner is threatened with disconnection. Petitioner filed Ext.P4. 2. I heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel. 3. Learned Standing Counsel points out that in fact petitioner had filed an application form along with the transferor, wherein he has categorically stated that he himself is responsible for all the arrears of current charges, if any, from his predecessor. In the light of this, I see no merit in the writ petition and the writ petition is dismissed. (K.M. JOSEPH, JUDGE) sb
