No.13192 of 2009 --------------------------------- Dated, this the 25th day of May, 2009 J U D G M E N T The petitioner submits that the premises of his father, to which consumer No.2759 has been allotted and energy supplied, were inspected by the respondents, and Ext.P1 was issued demanding payment of an amount of Rs.1,23,537/-. It being a provisional demand, it is seen that the petitioner filed Ext.P2 objection. However, without deciding on Ext.P2, the respondents insisted on paying the amount claimed under Ext.P1 and this led the petitioner to file the writ petition challenging Ext.P1. 2. The learned standing counsel for the respondents on instructions now informs that on receipt of Ext.P2 objection filed by the petitioner, the petitioner was heard by the 2nd respondent on 08/05/2009. It is also submitted that at the time of hearing, the petitioner sought time for production of certain documents, and that since the documents have not been produced, final order has not been passed. WP(C) No.13192/2009 -2- 3. Taking note of the submissions thus made by both sides, the writ petition is disposed of with the following directions:- That it will be open to the petitioner to produce documents, if any, before the 2nd respondent within ten days from today. It is directed that in any event, the 2nd respondent shall pass final orders on Ext.P1 demand in the light of Ext.P2 and the submissions made by the petitioner on 08/05/2009, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within three weeks from today. It is directed that in the meanwhile, power supplied to the premises in question shall not be disconnected for non-payment of the amount claimed in Ext.P1. 4. The petitioner shall produce a copy of this judgment along with a copy of this writ petition before the 2nd respondent for compliance. The writ petition is disposed of as above.
