It happened to be issued as his meter did not work for some time. When the new meter was installed, the reading was monitored for six months and thereafter, Ext.P1 revised bill was issued based on the consumption so noticed. The power supply has also been disconnected for the reason that the building to which the connection was given, is demolished for reconstruction. 2. I heard the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents also. According to him, the petitioner can pursue Ext.P2 representation filed against Ext.P1. It is also submitted that if, upon inspection, it is found that the wiring is in proper condition, the reconnection will be considered. 3. The 1st respondent is directed to consider and pass orders on Ext.P2 in accordance with law after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner as expeditiously as possible. If the petitioner pays 1/3rd of the amount due under Ext.P1, the power supply shall be restored, provided, the wiring is found to be in proper condition upon inspection. The Writ Petition is disposed of as above. 05.03.2007 K.BALAKRISHNAN NAIR,JUDGE sta 2
