Case No. 496 of 2005 by which he has refused to discharge the petitioner under Section 152(C) of the Electricity Act on the ground that penalty has not been paid for compounding the offence. Considering that the order impugned is completely valid, I see no reason to interfere in the matter. The application is dismissed. S.Ali ( Anjana Prakash, J.)
