HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE GODA RAGHURAM WRIT PETITION NO. 180 OF 2010 ORDER: By the bill dated 1.7.2004, the respondents intimated to the petitioner arrears of payment for the energy in an amount of Rs.63,109/-, as on 26.6.2004. The petitioner filed C.D.No.59 of 2004 thereagainst before the District Consumer Forum, Srikakulam, challenging the bill dated 1.7.2004. By an interim direction in I.A.No.260 of 2004, the District Consumer Forum directed restoration of power supply on payment of half of the demanded bill amount. The petitioner paid Rs.33,008/- and thereafter power supply was restored. The petitioner asserts to be paying monthly consumption charges ever since December, 2009. The District Consumer Forum by the order dated 15.2.2007, dismissed CD.No. 59 of 2004. The petitioner preferred an appeal in FA.No 1411 of 2007 before the State Consumer Disputes Reddressal Commission, Hyderabad. The State Commission concurred with the District Consumer Forum and dismissed the appeal on 18.10.2009, which order the petitioner admits to have received on 25.10.2009. Now that the consumer dispute and appeal there-from have been dismissed, the respondents have disconnected the supply for the failure to clear the arrears of payment, due. In the affidavit filed in support of the Writ Petition, it is not asserted that the petitioner has pursued any further remedies against the dismissal of FA.No.1411 of 2007 by the order dated 18.10.2009 of the State Consumer Disputes Reddressal Commission, Hyderabad. In the circumstances, the petitioner appears to have no escape from the liability to pay the arrears of the bill amount as reflected in the bill dated 1.7.2004. For obtaining reconnection of supply, the petitioner would have to pay all the stipulated charges apart from the arrears due including penal charges and reconnection charges, if any. The learned Standing counsel for the respondents, Sri O. Manohar Reddy states that the respondent would certainly restore the power supply to the petitioner, on the petitioner clearing all the arrears due as on today and on payment of penal or reconnection charges, if any. Recording the above submission, the Writ Petition is disposed of in terms thereof. No costs. ------------------------------- JUSTICE GODA RAGHURAM DATED 12TH JANUARY, 2010. MSNR
