RAMANA WRIT PETITION NO : 928 of 2008 ORAL ORDER: The present writ petition is filed questioning the action of respondents in not reviewing the petitioner’s security deposit for the year 2007-08 as illegal and for a consequential direction for refund of excess consumption deposit of Rs.2,33,000/- The brief facts, which lead to filing of the present writ petition are that the petitioner being a H.T consumer has deposited the security deposit in terms of clause 2 of A.P. Regulatory Commission (Security Deposit) Regulation 2004. The petitioner states that in terms of clause 6 (2) of the Regulations, the security deposit shall be reviewed by the licensee once in every year, basing on the average consumption, and if the security deposit is in excess by more than 10% of the required security deposit, the licensee shall refund the same to the consumer. The grievance of the petitioner is that its consumption for the period from April, 2006 to March, 2007 is Rs.20,980/- and it is entitled for refund of an amount of Rs.2,30,000/- and in spite of submitting letter dated 4.10.2007 and 4.12.2007, the respondents are not taking any further action in the matter. Hence the present writ petition. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing counsel for respondents-company. Both the counsel, agreed for disposal of the writ petition at the stage of admission itself with a direction to the respondents to pass appropriate orders on the representations of the petitioner dated 4.10.2007 and 4.12.2007. Having regard to the agreed stand of both the counsel and in view of the fact that the representations of the petitioner dated 4.10.2007 and 4.12.2007 are pending with the respondents, without going into the merits of the matter, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition directing the second respondent to consider the above said representations of the petitioners and pass appropriate speaking orders in accordance with law, expeditiously, preferably within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of copy of this order.
