THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI WRIT PETITION NO. 12209 of 2011 DT.27.4.2011 Between: Y Janaki Ramaiah … Petitioner And The A.P.S.P.D.C.L, Vijayawada and ors … Respondents Counsel for the Petitioner: Sri V Raghu Counsel for respondents: Sri O Manohar Reddy The Court made the following ORDER: THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI WRIT PETITION NO. 12209 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioner in the present writ petition has challenged the action of the respondents in disconnecting the power supply to S.C No. 6512104001969 as illegal. It appears that a bill dated 7.12.2010 was issued to the petitioner for a sum of Rs.11,588/- towards consumption charges. Further, in the said bill an amount of Rs.12,164/- was shown as arrears. It is the contention of the learned counsel for petitioner that the consumption charges which reflected actually in the bill were already paid and the arrears shown in the bill are not payable as there are no arrears pending in respect of his service connection. It is therefore contended that although there are no arrears, on 19.2.2011 the power supply was disconnected without issuance of any notice. That is how the petitioner has filed this writ petition. Heard the learned counsel for petitioner and Mr O.Manohar Reddy, and with their consent, the writ petition is taken up for final disposal at the stage of admission. There does not appear to be any dispute as to payment of consumption charges of Rs.11,588/- by the petitioner but insofar as the alleged arrears of Rs.12,164/- is concerned, the petitioner contends that there are no arrears payable. He therefore submitted a representation dated 19.3.2011 in that regard. The fifth respondent after receiving the representation from the petitioner, ought to have verified the facts and taken a decision thereafter. Having heard both the counsel and in the facts and circumstances of the case, I deem it appropriate to direct the fifth respondent to consider the representation of the petitioner dated 19.3.2011 and determine whether the petitioner is liable to pay any arrears. In the meanwhile, power supply to the petitioner shall be restored on condition of petitioner depositing a sum of Rs.6,000/- (Rupees six thousand only). Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. _____________ NOUSHAD ALI,J DATE: 27.4.2011 tvk THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE NOUSHAD ALI WRIT PETITION NO. 12209 of 2011 DT.27.4.2011
