JUDGMENT Heard counsel for the petitioner and Standing Counsel for KSEB. While considering petitioner's application for additional power allocation, KSEB noticed unauthorised load and therefore, penal charges are levied. The petitioner has filed W.P.(C) No.22806/2006 challenging the additional power bill sustained in appeal. This court has granted conditional stay directing payment of Rs.4 lakhs out of the disputed demand. The petitioner has paid the said amount and recovery of the balance amount remains stayed under orders of this court.

The petitioner's application for additional power allocation also will be considered in accordance with the norms. The respondents are directed to comply with the above direction within a period of one month. C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR Judge pms
