It is stated that at one stage, the officials of the respondents expressed their willingness to restore the power supply on payment of Rs.2,550/-, but did not agree for the same thereafter. She prays for appropriate directions. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned standing counsel for the respondents. The bill itself discloses that the amounts of Rs.10,790/- and Rs.3,677/- are arrears for various periods. The manner in which they have accumulated is not indicated. It may be a surprise for the petitioner, but it is a matter of routine for the respondents to issue such bills, without any basis, rhyme or rhythm.
