JOSEPH, J. ```````````````````````````````````````````````````` W.P.(C) No. 21523 OF 2008 K ```````````````````````````````````````````````````` Dated this the 17th day of July, 2008 J U D G M E N T Petitioner calls in question Exts.P6, P9 and P10. Ext.P9 is the order dated 30.6.2008 passed apparently under section 126 of the Electricity Act. Ext.P10 is the communication from the Assistant Engineer by which the petitioner has been called upon to pay the amount by 21.7.2008 failing which the electric connection will be disconnected. 2. I heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned standing counsel. There is a right of appeal to the petitioner which can be exercised within thirty days from the date of the order. Learned standing counsel points out that the petitioner can file appeal on or before 30.7.2008. 3. In such circumstances, writ petition is disposed of relegating the petitioner to pursue the appellate remedy available under section 127 of the Act. There will be no disconnection of power supply till 30.7.2008. Sd/- (K.M.JOSEPH, JUDGE) aks
