I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Standing Counsel for respondent No.1. At the hearing, the learned Standing Counsel submitted that there are certain arrears payable by the previous consumer, from whom the petitioner purchased the unit, and that unless those arrears are paid, service connection cannot be released in favour of the petitioner. The learned Standing Counsel further submitted that a demand in this regard is being issued by respondent No.1. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner is not liable to pay the arrears owed by the previous consumer. Whether the petitioner is liable to pay the said arrears or not requires to be considered as and when a demand to that effect is made by respondent No.1. Since the said issue does not arise for consideration in this writ petition, no finding need be rendered at this stage. Respondent No.1 is directed to issue appropriate proceedings on the petitioner’s application for release of supply and communicate the same to the petitioner within a period of one week. If the petitioner feels aggrieved by such proceedings, it is permitted to avail appropriate remedy. Subject to the above, the writ petition is disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of main petition, WPMP No.8066 of 2010 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Dated 19th March, 2010 vrn
