RAMULU W.P.Nos.26044, 26045 and 26046 of 2003 COMMON ORDER: Since common questions of law and facts arise for consideration in all these three writ petitions, they are all being disposed of by this common order. It appears, in all these three writ petitions, the impugned proceedings i.e. initial assessment notices have been issued to the petitioners by the 2nd respondent asking them to pay certain amounts towards the value of electricity pilfered by them. Aggrieved by the same, the present writ petitions have been filed. There is no necessity of going into all the details. While admitting the writ petitions on 15.12.2003, this Court directed the respondents not to disconnect power supply to the service connections bearing Nos.P2-7773, P2-9633 and P2-5840, subject to condition that the petitioners deposit half of the demanded amount in the impugned notices, within a period of two weeks from that date. Learned counsel for the petitioners states that the petitioners have complied with the condition imposed in the interim order and power supply is being continued to the service connections. In view of the same, without expressing any opinion on merits, the respondents are directed to refer the matters to the Special Court, under Section 154 of the Indian Electricity Act, 2003, for adjudication of the same. Till the matters are finalized by the Special Court, power supply shall be continued to the above said service connections on usual terms. With the above directions, the writ petitions are disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. ____​__________ C.V. RAMULU, J 11th July, 2007. IBL
