It is stated that he had obtained domestic water connection from the 2nd respondent Board vide Connection No.092109676 and he has been paying the water charges regularly. In the month of November, 2010 the charges have been enhanced from Rs.95/- to Rs.132/- and the enhanced charges have also been paid by the petitioner regularly. According to the petitioner, there are no dues at all towards the water charges. However from January, 2011 onwards the 2nd respondent started issuing demand notices one after another for huge amounts without furnishing the details. In spite of the request made by the petitioner, the 2nd respondent did not furnish the details with regard to the alleged liability of the petitioner under the demand notice dated 12.1.2011 issued from January, 2011 onwards. Hence the present writ petition seeking a declaration that the action of the respondents in issuing demand notices dated 12.1.2011, 10.2.2011 and 6.3.2011 is arbitrary and illegal. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as well as Sri V. Sudhakar Reddy, the learned Standing Counsel for Hyderabad Metro Water Supply and Sewerage Board. The learned Standing Counsel, on instructions, submitted that the objections of the petitioner would be considered by the 2nd respondent in accordance with law. Having regard to the facts and circumstances noticed above, the petitioner is hereby permitted to raise his objections before the 2nd respondent on or before 25.04.2011. After considering such objections, the 2nd respondent shall pass appropriate orders in accordance with law and communicate the same to the petitioner. Till such time, there shall not be disconnection of the water supply to the premises in question, subject to the condition that the minimum usage charges are paid by the petitioner regularly. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No costs. ___________ G. ROHINI, J Date: 19.04.2011 Note:- Issue CC by tomorrow (B/O) Ivd
