The petitioner is a Company having textile units at Madurai and Trichy. They are not only getting the electric supply from the Tamil Nadu Electricity Board but also from the private parties. In respect of the purchase of the power from private parties, the respondent Board started levying cross subsidy charges. The levy of the cross subsidy charges was subject of challenge before the Principal Bench by way of Writ Petitions and the said Writ Petitions were allowed by the Principal Bench directing the respondents therein to adjust the amount in future current consumption charges, if it has been paid. Therefore, learned counsel for the petitioner would contend that the cross subsidy charges levied by the respondent herein also cannot be done so. To this effect, they have already made representations dated 08.03.2011 and 09.03.2011 to pass orders in pursuant to the orders passed by the Court made in W.P(MD).No.27983 of 2010 dated 17.02.2011. Since no orders have been passed, the present Writ Petitions are preferred. 3. Mr.M.Sureshkumar, learned Standing Counsel for the respondents took notice and would contend that the authorities concerned will consider the representations of the petitioner company and pass appropriate orders on merits and in accordance with law within a given time to be fixed by this Court. Heard both sides. 4. The short point raised by the petitioner company was the levy of cross subsidy charges in respect of the purchase of the power from the private parties. The learned counsel for the petitioner would contend that the very same identical matter has already been disposed of by the Principal Bench vide its order dated W.P(MD).No.27983 of 2010 dated 17.02.2011. Pursuant to that, the petitioner Company made representations dated 09.03.2011 in respect of W.P(MD).Nos.4676 & 4677 of 2011 and in respect of W.P(MD).No.4678 of 2011, the petitioner Company made a representation on 08.03.2011. Hence, the learned counsel for the petitioner seeks a direction to consider the representations made by the petitioner company in tune with the earlier orders passed by the Court. 5.
