IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) MONDAY, THE EIGHTH DAY OF SEPTEMBER, TWO THOUSAND EIGHT ONLY PRESENT: THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.11274 of 2001 Between: K. Chandrakala … Petitioner AND Sanjay Rural Electric Cooperative Society Ltd., (SCORE), Jogipet, Medak District, rep., by its Managing Director & another. … Respondents Counsel for the petitioner : None Counsel for the respondents: None This Court made the following: THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.11274 of 2001 ORDER:- This writ petition is ﬁled for a writ of Mandamus to set aside proceedings dated 30.04.2001 issued by respondent No.2, whereby he provisionally assessed the value of energy allegedly not recorded by the meter at Rs.67,983/-. The petitioner’s service bearing No.254 was inspected on 26.04.2001 by the Engineer of respondent No.1 society and during his inspection, he allegedly found that the meter disc was moving slow in forward direction in two phases and there was no movement of the disc in ‘Y’ phase. On that premise, the abovementioned amount was provisionally assessed and the petitioner was called upon to pay the said amount. This proceeding is questioned in this writ petition. A perusal of the proceeding sheet of the case shows that on 12.06.2001, this Court directed the respondents not to disconnect the power supply on condition of the petitioner paying half of the demanded amount. Having regard to the nature of the impugned proceedings, namely, provisional assessment, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with the direction to the respondents to make ﬁnal assessment, after giving an opportunity to the petitioner, if not already made. Pending passing of ﬁnal assessment order, the respondents shall not demand any amount in excess of 50% of the provisional assessment amount, if the said amount has been paid in pursuance of order dated 12.06.2001 passed by this Court. Ordered accordingly. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, WPMP.No.13987 of 2001 ﬁled by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. ____________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Date: 08.09.2008 ES
