RAVIKUMAR, J - - - - - - - - - - - - -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - W.P.(C)No. 27559 OF 2010 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated this the 2nd day of December, 2010 J U D G M E N T This writ petition has been filed mainly challenging Ext.P9. The further prayer is for issuance of a writ of mandamus commanding the respondent to consider and pass orders on Exts.P10 and P11. Ext.P9 was an order served on the petitioner under section 135 of the Electricity Act, 2003. During the pendency of this writ petition Ext.P13 order was passed, on Ext.P11 objection filed against Ext.P9. Feeling aggrieved by Ext.P13 the petitioner has preferred an appeal. Ext.P14 appeal preferred against Ext.P13 is now pending before the appellate authority viz., the Deputy Chief Engineer. Considering the subsequent developments and also the fact that the petitioner has already preferred Ext.P14 appeal against Ext.P13 order I am of the view that this writ petition can be disposed of without considering the contentions on merits. Accordingly, this writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the appellate authority before whom Ext.P14 is pending, to consider the same and pass orders thereon, in WPC.27559/2010 : 2 : accordance with law. This shall be done expeditiously, at any rate within a period of three months from the date of receipt of copy of this judgment. To enable the appellate authority to consider the same, the petitioner shall produce a copy of the judgment before the appellate authority. Sd/- (C.T. RAVIKUMAR, JUDGE) jma //true copy// P.A to Judge
