He points out that the petitioner can either approach the Executive Engineer or the Consumer Grievance Redressal Forum. Accordingly, writ petition is disposed of as follows. If the petitioner prefers a petition before the Consumer Grievance Redressal Forum, Ernakulam, within one week from today, the Consumer Grievance Redressal Forum, Ernakulam will look into the petition and take a decision thereon, after affording an opportunity for hearing to the petitioner, within two months from the date of filing of the petition. Till such decision is taken, there will be no disconnection pursuant to Ext.P7 bill. (K.M.JOSEPH, JUDGE) aks
