Learned standing counsel does not dispute that Ext.P5 is a provisional WPC.34788/08 N 2 bill under Section 126 and it has to be finalised after considering the objections of the petitioner which has been produced as Ext.P6. In such circumstances, the Writ Petition is disposed of as follows: There will be a direction to the second respondent to consider and take a decision on Ext.P6 in accordance with law, after hearing the petitioner, within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this Judgment. Till such time as a decision is taken as aforesaid, there will be no disconnection pursuant to Ext.P5. Sd/= K. M. JOSEPH, JUDGE kbk. // True Copy // PS to Judge
