THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 04/03/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: Thottathil B. Radhakrishnan, J. ================================== W.P.(C)No.7224 of 2008 ================================== Dated this the 4th day of March, 2008. JUDGMENT This writ petition is filed seeking a direction to the respondents to issue a demand for electricity charges. No such relief could be granted when, even going by the materials produced by the petitioner, demands were made and amounts are outstanding. There is no question of issuing a fresh demand. Learned standing counsel for the Board submits that, though the supply was dismantled, re-connection can be effected, provided, the petitioner pays off the entire outstandings, including all accruals as also amounts towards re-connection for restoration of the dismantled connection for differential in security for the connected load and power allocation process, if any. Obviously therefore, the petitioner does not have to make a fresh WPC7224/2008 -:2:- application for connection. In the result, the submissions on behalf of the Board are recorded and since the petitioner has agreed to pay the amounts as demanded by the Board, it is directed that re-connection shall be given, as stated above, if all the aforesaid amounts are paid. Even if such payment is under protest, since after payment, the petitioner is entitled to agitate the issue before the Consumer Grievances Redressal Forum, if so advised. It is also clarified that Ext.P10 memo of charges and other incidentals shall also be paid in accordance with law. Writ petition is disposed of accordingly. Thottathil B.Radhakrishnan, sl. Judge.
