Asheervad was issued a Provisional Assessment Order under Section 126 of the Electricity Act, 2003 alleging unauthorized user of service connection given for domestic consumption to the above person for a commercial purpose viz., for a Nursing Hostel. The impugned Provisional Assessment Order dated 03-05-2008 intimated to the addressee above mentioned that if he desired continuation of electrical power supply he should pay 50% of the provisional assessment plus supervision charges and reconnection charges stipulated therein with the designated officer and furnish receipt to the author of the notice within seven (7) days failing which disconnection will follow. The individual thereafter submitted a representation to the second respondent. An organization styling itself Prabhu Das Memorial Educational Institution has filed this writ petition describing the same institution as the writ petitioner and represented by the individual T.D. Asheervad, who is said to be the representative of the Prabhu Das Memorial Educational Institution as its Correspondent. Admittedly and demonstrably Prabhu Das Memorial Educational Institution whatever its juristic origins or status is neither the applicant for a service connection nor the organization in whose name a service connection and supply of electricity is being made by the first respondent-Corporation. The impugned Provisional Assessment Order is also not addressed to the Prabhu Das Memorial Educational Institution. The Prabhu Das Memorial Educational Institution has therefore n o locus standi to maintain this writ petition challenging the Provisional Assessment Orders issued by the second respondent. On the aforesaid analysis, this writ petition is not maintainable and is accordingly dismissed. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________________ GODA RAGHURAM, J Dated: 01-07-2008 Pvks/*
