NO. 27914 OF 2007 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 19th day of September, 2007 JUDGMENT Petitioner's case is that even though petitioner remitted 50% of the provisional bill amount for restoring connection, petitioner wants to contest the bill and has filed Ext.P5 objections against the provisional bill. Second respondent is therefore directed to consider the objections of the petitioner, hear the petitioner and finalise the bill. Since petitioner has paid fifty per cent there will be direction to the 2nd respondent not to disconnect supply or recover balance arrears until bill is finalised. If the petitioner has any grievance against the bill as finalised, petitioner can file appeal. W.P. is disposed of as above. (C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR) Judge 2
