The learned standing counsel further submitted that the direction issued by the Kerala State Electricity Regulatory Commission is only to the effect that additional cash security should not be levied along with energy charges, since the additional cash security is liable to be refunded, on the termination of the agreement, if no amount is due at that stage from the consumer. In such circumstances, the petitioner cannot have any subsisting grievance. The writ petition is closed recording the submission of the learned standing counsel that the demand for additional cash deposit will be issued separately. P.N. RAVINDRAN, JUDGE. nj.
