The petitioners claimed to be the tenants of premises bearing door No.22A-3-3, Somanchivari Street, Powerpet, Eluru, West Godavari district. The grievance of the petitioners is that at the instance of respondents 1 and 2, respondents 3 and 4 disconnected the power supply. This Court by order dated 8.1.2008 directed restoration of power supply in pursuance of which power supply was restored. Respondents 1 and 2 filed counter affidavits and vacate stay petitions in which they have categorically pleaded that the petitioners approached the District Consumer Redressal Forum, West Godavari district by filing C.C.No.195 of 2007 against respondents 1 and 2 for the same relief and that they also filed I.A.No.732 of 2007 for the same prayer as is made in W.P.M.P.No.424 of 2008 and W.P.No.405 of 2008. No reply affidavit is filed. Sri Y.V.Ravi Prasad, learned counsel for respondents 1 and 2 placed before this Court copy of complaint in C.C.No.195 of 2007 and I.A.No.732 of 2007 dated 19.12.2007. A perusal of the said papers clearly shows that the petitioners already availed their remedy before the District Consumer Redressal Forum and suppressing the said fact they filed the present writ petition for the same relief. The writ petition is therefore, dismissed. The proceedings under Article 226 are discretionary in nature and this Court would not extend its discretionary jurisdiction in favour of the petitioners, who are guilty of suppressing the material facts. The writ petition is therefore, dismissed. As a sequel to dismissal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.No.424 of 2008 filed by the petitioners seeking interim relief is also dismissed. ___________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY,J Date:11.04.2008 mdaa
