JUDGMENT These writ petitions are filed by the Electricity Department of the Thrissur Corporation. They face orders from the Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum, hereinafter referred to as the `CDRF', for short. Owing to obvious administrative inconvenience, the appeals filed by the petitioners before the State Commission are yet to come up for admission since applications to condone delay in filing those petitions are still pending. 2. Having regard to the totality of the facts and circumstances, these writ petitions are disposed of directing that distress action on the basis of the decision of the CDRF will stand suspended for a period of six months or until the State Commission hears the stay petitions, whichever event happens earlier. This will be on condition that the petitioners deposit the entire amount covered by the impugned orders before the WPC6147&6191/07 -:2:- CDRF within a period of three weeks from now. However, such amounts shall not be released without appropriate directions by the State Commission. Thottathil B.Radhakrishnan, Judge. sl.
