J: This writ appeal is directed against the interim order passed by the learned single Judge in W.P (C).No.20586 of 2008 dated 15/7/2008. 2. The interim order passed by the learned single Judge is purely a discretionary order. The demand that is raised by the respondent/Electricity Board is in a sum of Rs.53,738/-and in order to do complete justice, the learned single Judge had directed the petitioner to deposit Rs.30,000/- and further directed the Board that if such a deposit is made, electric connection would be restored to the petitioner/consumer. We do not find any perversity or arbitrariness in the interim order passed by the learned single Judge. Therefore the writ appeal is required to be rejected and it is rejected. Oedered accordingly.
