THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE K.C.BHANU WRIT PETITION No. 11997 of 2002 Between: I.V.Pakkir Reddy, s/o.I.Ch.Hussain Reddy …Petitioner and 1)The Superintending Engineer-Operation, A.P.Transco., Kurnool circle, Kurnool & 3 others … Respondents ORDER: The grievance of the petitioner is that the respondents issued a bill clubbing service connections of the petitioner as well as that of the neighbourers and thereby changing the classification and demanding huge amounts. Heard both sides. The learned counsel submits that no notice as such was issued to the petitioner before issuing the impugned bill clubbing several service connections as required under condition No.27 of the terms and conditions of supply. It is not in dispute that the respondents did not issue any notice calling upon the petitioner to show cause as to why the several service connections referred to in the impugned bill can not be clubbed. In the similar circumstances, this Court allowed Writ Petition No.9183 of 2002 as per Order dated 14.05.2002 setting aside impugned bills therein. Hence, the impugned bills and the classification thereunder together with the bills subsequent thereto are set aside. It shall, however, be open to the respondents to issue notice to the petitioner and take steps in accordance with rules. The Writ Petition is, accordingly, allowed. No costs. ---------------------- 07.07.2006 DRK
