NO. 22525 OF 2008 F -------------------------------------- Dated this the 29th July, 2008 JUDGMENT Petitioner challenges Ext.P21. I heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and also the learned standing counsel appearing on behalf of the respondent Electricity Board. Learned standing counsel points out that Ext.P21 contains both regular bills and also the bills for short assessment apparently on the basis of unauthorised load. He submits that it attracts Section 126 and consequently the petitioner can file objection before the first respondent Assistant Engineer, who will take a decision on the same. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of as follows: Petitioner is granted ten days' time from today to file objection to Ext.P21 before the first respondent. Thereupon, the first respondent will consider the same and take a decision on the same in accordance with law after affording an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner, within a period of one month from WPC. 22525/08 f 2 the date of receipt of the objection. Till such time as a decision is taken as aforesaid, there will be no disconnection provided the petitioner pays the regular bills. Sd/= K. M. JOSEPH, JUDGE kbk. // True Copy// PS to Judge
