WP(C) 5311/2009 BEFORE HON’BLE MRS. JUSTICE ANIMA HAZARIKA Heard Mr.Z.Hussain learned counsel appearing for petitioners. Also heard Mr.H.K.Sarma learned Standing Counsel , ASEB appearing for the respondents. Considering the grievance raised in the writ petition and as agreed to b y the learned counsel for the parties this writ petition is disposed of at the m otion stage itself. The petitioners are the consumers of the villages Belguri Part-I, Sindur ai Part-I and Part-II under the Agomoni Electrical Sub-Division since 20 years. The consumers of these villages have been paying their monthly electricity bills to the Agamani Electrical sub-Division retgularly. However, suddenly, one NGO, namely, M/s Win Indiana respondent No.8 has started sending electricity bills to the petitioners without any earlier information and notice, saying that the con sumers(petitioners) will have to pay their monthly bills to the NGO only. The b ills sent by the NGO contain a numbers of anomalies. The petitioners are thus ag grieved on the action of the respondent authority for allowing to serve the bill s through the NGO in violation of Rules and Regulations of Electricity Act, 2003 as well as Government Notification dated 22.12.2003. To that effect the petitio ners have submitted several representations to the official respondents on 8.7.2 009,12.10.2009 and 23.11.2009 praying therein for receiving the monthly bills of the petitioners as per the schedule of tariff and not to dis-connect the electr icity connection . However, the same have evoked no response from the authority and thus the instant writ petition with a prayer for a direction to the sub-Divi sional Engineer, Agamani Electrical sub-Division to receive the monthly electr icity bills of the petitioners as per the schedule of tariff issued by the Assa m Electricity Regulatory Commission as well as Government Notification dated 22.12.2003. Further case of the petitioners is that they have not paid electricity b ills to the NGO because of the anomaly and irregularity found in the bills. Mr.Sharma has submitted that the instant writ petition may be disposed of at this stage directing the authority to dispose of the representation submi tted by the petitioners within a time frame. Mr.Hussain learned counsel appering for the petitioners has not objected to the submission so made by Mr.Sharma lea rned standing counsel , ASEB. In view of the above this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondent no.5 i.e. Deputy General Manager, Kokrajhar Electrical Circle, Lower Assam Electrical Distribution Company Ltd., Kokrajhar to dispose of the r epresentation submitted by the petitioners. The latest one being 23rd November, 2009 (annexures-10 to the writ petition).
