JUDGMENT The question is whether the minimum guarantee agreement executed by the petitioner still requires to be honoured if the supply line in question has become self remunerative. This is an issue that can be raised by the petitioner before the Consumer Grievances Redressal Forum. Hence, this writ petition is disposed of relegating the petitioner to the CGRF having jurisdiction over the area and directing that if the petitioner approaches the CGRF, appropriate decision shall be taken as expeditiously as possible. The CGRF will also consider any interim relief, if sought for. THOTTATHIL B. RADHAKRISHNAN, JUDGE. Sha/
