It appears from the record that the petitioner has filed Special Civil Suit No. 17 of 1995 and the Gujarat Electricity Board has also filed Special Civil Suit No. 55 of 1998 in the Court of Civil Judge (S.D.) at Porbandar for the same relief. When efficacious remedy is already resorted to by the parties, this application cannot be entertained, and on that count alone it is required to be dismissed. 3. This application is, therefore, accordingly dismissed. The learned Civil Judge (S.D.) at Porbandar is directed to dispose of both the abovementioned suits latest by 30th April, 2001. Till the suits are disposed of, the Gujarat Electricity Board shall take no step to recover the amounts of the supplementary bill. Rule discharged. ************ rafik
