The petitioner has been granted electric supply with sanctioned load of 332.522 K.W. The petitioner is engaged in cotton ginning and pressing business. The petitioner applied for temporary disconnection on 15.01.2003 for the period of 15.02.2003 to 14.08.2003.

The said amount is sought to be disputed by the petitioner by way of the present petition for adjudication by an Arbitrator, in terms of the agreement executed between the parties. There is a dispute between the parties in respect of obligation of the respondents to temporarily disconnect the electric supply to the Arbitration No.24 of 2006 -2- petitioner.
