Learned Standing Counsel points out that Ext.P9 is only a provisional bill issued under Section 126 of the Electricity Act and that it is open to the petitioner to file his objections. No doubt, learned counsel for the petitioner pointed out that a similar matter is pending before this court. 2. I would think that against Ext.P9 provisional bill, petitioner has to file his objections and a decision has to be taken by the Assistant Engineer. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of as follows: If the petitioner files his objections to Ext. P9 before the third respondent within one week from today, the third respondent will consider the same and take a decision thereon within one month from the date of filing of the objection with opportunity of hearing to the petitioner.
