The Hon’ble Dr. Justice G. Yethirajulu W.P. No. 11202 of 2004 O R D E R: This is a writ petition filed by the petitioner seeking declaration that the action of the respondent No.1 in charging Rs.5,40,000/- towards compound fee under the provisions of G.O.Ms.No.111 Energy (PR-II) dated 1.10.2001 issued under the Indian Electricity Act 1910 is illegal and arbitrary and further to direct respondent No.1 to repay the excess amount of Rs.4,86,000/- collected from the petitioner in the light of the provisions of G.O.Ms.No.89 Energy (PR-II) dated 29.7.2003. The contention of the petitioner is that as per the G.O., the respondents are entitled to collect Rs.500/- per KVA and not Rs.5,000/- and, therefore, they collected excess amount; hence, it is entitled for the refund of the amount. Learned counsel for the respondents submitted that as per G.O.Ms.No. 89 dated 29.7.2003 the compounding fee for HT Industry category is Rs.5,000/- per KVA or part thereof and therefore the authorities have rightly calculated the amount in terms of the G.O. and there is no excess payment made by the petitioner. Perused the G.O.Ms.No. 89 and I am convinced that the compounding fee for HT Industry category is Rs.5,000/- per KVA or part thereof but not Rs.500/- as contended by the petitioner. I do not find any illegality or arbitrariness in the order passed by the concerned authorities. Therefore, I do not find any merits in the writ petition to interfere with the impugned order. Hence, the writ petition is dismissed. No order as to costs. G. YETHIRAJULU, J. Date: 17-01-2008. MVB.
