HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY WRIT PETITION No.19288 of 2003 ORDER : In this writ petition, the petitioner-Partnership Firms have qustioned the validity of the proceedings issued by the 4th respondent in Letter No.ADE/OP/PDRL/F.No.Dokt.D.No.514/03, dated 1st August 2003. 2. The petitioners are the manufacturers of lime powder, and to run their industries, they obtained electricity service connections vide Service Connection Nos.1764, 2032 and 4622 under LT Category-III and Service Connection No.4605 under LT Category-II. Though the petitioners were categorised under LT Category for the purpose of charging the consumption charges, however, basing on the inspection made by the respondents, on the ground that the Petitioner-Units are in the same premises and are manufacturing the same product, they were asked to convert their service connections into HT category by the impugned letter, dated 1st August 2003. Hence, they filed this writ petition. 3. After filing of the writ petition, this Court granted interim orders on 12.09.2003, directing the respondents not to disconnect power supply to the petitioner-Units, pursuant to the letter, dated 1st August 2003. Upon a perusal of the impugned order, it is clear that the petitioners were only requested to go for one HT service connection instead of the existing four LT service connections bearing Nos.1764, 2032, 4605 and 4622, as all the Units are situated in the same premises. Though it is alleged in the counter affidavit that when all the Units are in the same premises, there is a discretion vested with the respondents for clubbing all the service connections for continuing the supply and to charge the consumers at High Tension tariff rates, but as of now, no orders are passed for clubbing the service connections of petitioners. If the petitioners are having any objections to go for one HT service connection instead of four LT service connections, it is for them to raise such objections before the respondent-authorities. Even before an order of clubbing is passed as per the Terms and Conditions of supply, petitioners cannot seek invalidation of the impugned order, on the ground that they are not manufacturing the same product and that the Units are not held by the same person. 4. As much as no orders are passed so far, for clubbing of the petitioners’ service connections, and the impugned letter is only a request for the petitioners to convert their service connections from LT to HT category, I dispose of the writ petition, permitting the petitioners to submit their objections to the letter, dated 1st of August 2003, issued in Letter No. ADE/OP/PDRL/F.No.Dokt.D.No.514/03, within a period of six weeks from today, if they are not willing to go for one HT connection instead of the existing four LT service connections. If such objections are filed, the respondents shall consider the same and pass appropriate orders as per the Terms and Conditions of Supply. Till such appropriate final orders are passed and communicated to the petitioners, power supply to their service connections shall not be disconnected only on the ground that they did not apply for the HT service as per Letter No.ADE/OP/PDRL/ F.No.Dokt.D.No.514/03, dated 1st August 2003. However, it is made clear that continuation of supply of electricity to the petitioners will be subject to payment of regular consumption charges. 5. Subject to above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ___________________ R.SUBHASH REDDY, J 6th August 2009 N.B : Furnish C.C. in three days. (b/o) ajr
