No.2479 of 2009 --------------------------------- Dated, this the 3rd day of February, 2009 J U D G M E N T Heard both sides. 2. The petitioner is a consumer of the respondent with Consumer No.KLY/5009/D. He was issued Exts.P1 and P2 invoices and on its receipt, he filed his objection by Ext.P3. It is stated that without deciding on the correctness of the invoices in the light of the objections raised by Ext.P3, the Water Authority proceeded to disconnect water supply to his premises, with effect from 20/01/2009. It is at that stage, the writ petition was filed. 3. By order dated 23/01/2009, this Court directed the respondents to restore water supply to the petitioner's premises and today it is reported that the said order has been complied with. 4. As already noticed, aggrieved by Exts.P1 and P2, the petitioner has filed Ext.P3 objection, and therefore, I direct the 1st respondent to decide on the correctness of Exts.P1 and P2 in the light of Ext.P3 objection. This shall be done as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within four weeks of production of a copy of WP(C) No.2479/2009 -2- this judgment. 5. It is also directed that in the meanwhile, status quo as on today regarding the continuance of the water supply shall be maintained. The writ petition is disposed of as above.
