@#@#@#@#@#@#@ HONOURABLE DR.JUSTICE G.YETHIRAJULU WRIT PETITION NO:16143 of 2002 DATED: 07-02-2008 Between: D.K.Bharatsimha Reddy ..... PETITIONER AND 1. Central Power Distribution Company of A.P.Ltd., rep.by its Director (Commercial), Vidhyutsoudha, Khairtabad, Hyderabad and 3 others. .....RESPONDENTS @#@#@#@#@#@#@ ORDER: This writ petition has been filed by the petitioner seeking to declare the assessment order passed by the second respondent dated 12-07-2002 directing the petitioner to pay Rs.2,84,905/- on the ground of pilferage of energy as illegal and arbitrary. Though the second respondent passed provisional assessment order, the enquiry will be pending with the Divisional Engineer. Since the petitioner, without making any representation or explanation before the Divisional Engineer, approached this Court challenging the provisional order, the writ petition is premature and it is not desirable to pass any order on the basis of the provisional assessment. Hence, the Writ Petition is dismissed. However, the petitioner is at liberty to make a representation before the Divisional Engineer (Assessment), Hyderabad. After the explanation or the representation given by the petitioner in pursuance of the provisional assessment notice dated 12-07-2002, the Divisional Engineer shall make necessary enquiry as required under rules and pass the final assessment order, and if there is any grievance with the final order it is for the petitioner to workout according to law. No order as to costs. _________________ 07th February, 2008 SKM
