P.C. : The Petitioner Bharat Petroleum Corporation Dmt 2 wp9056-10 Limited has challenged communications dated 22 May 2009 and 28 June 2009 and the action of the Respondents classifying the LPG Bottling Plant of the Petitioner at Solapur in HT-II (commercial) category, instead of HT-I (industrial) classification which was adopted earlier. A preliminary objection has been raised to the maintainability of the Petition. 2. The Petitioner has an alternate remedy of moving the Grievance Redressal Forum constituted under Sub-Section (5) of Section 42 of the Electricity Act 2003. Moreover, the consumer affected by the non redressal of his grievance under Sub-Section (5), is entitled to move the Omudsman under Sub- Section (6). The issues which are raised in the Petition would turn on an appreciation of facts in regard to the actual nature of activities undertaken by the Petitioner. In that view of the matter, we dispose of the Petition leaving it open to the Petitioner to raise its grievance before the Redressal Forum. In order to enable the Petitioner to do so, we direct that for a period of eight weeks from today no coercive steps shall be taken against the Petitioner. Dmt 3 wp9056-10 3. The Petition is, therefore, dismissed. (Dr. D.Y. Chandrachud, J.) (A. A. Sayed, J.)
