Sriram Karthik for Sri N.V. Anantha Krishna Counsel for the respondents: Sri O. Manohar Reddy SC for AP Transco This Court made the following: THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 11359 of 2006 ORDER:- This writ petition is filed for a writ of Mandamus to set aside order dated 01.06.2006 of respondent No.2. The dispute pertains to withdrawal of 25% rebate on electricity consumption. On a previous occasion, the petitioner filed WP.No.16218 of 2005 questioning the withdrawal of rebate. This Court allowed the said writ petition on the ground that the order of withdrawal did not contain reasons. Accordingly, the said order was set aside with the direction to respondent No.2 to consider the case afresh and pass a detailed order, after hearing the petitioner in- person. Purporting to follow the said order, respondent No.2 passed the impugned order, a perusal of which clearly shows that he committed the same error for which his earlier order was set aside. The fact that this order does not contain reasons, which is quite apparent on its face, is also not disputed by the learned Standing counsel for the respondents. In view of the same, the impugned order is set aside. Respondent No.2 is given liberty to pass a fresh order with detailed reasons. The writ petition is accordingly allowed. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition in the manner indicated above, WPMP.No.14121 of 2006 and WVMP.No.2171 of 2006 are disposed of as infructuous. _____________________________ C.V.
