THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.31610 of 2010 Date: 27.12.2010 Between: M/s. Madanapalle Spinning Mills Limited ..... Petitioner AND M/s. Southern Power Distribution Co. of A.P. Ltd, Tirupati and another .....Respondents Counsel for the Petitioner: Sri Vedula Srinivas Counsel for Respondents: Sri O. Manohar Reddy, standing counsel for AP TRANSCO The Court made the following: ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a Mandamus to declare the action of the respondents in showing unrelated amounts towards the arrears in the monthly electricity bills of the petitioner as illegal and arbitrary. The sum and substance of the grievance of the petitioner, which is the registered electricity consumer of respondent No.1, is that though it is not in arrears of electricity charges, the respondents have been showing varied amounts of arrears from October, 2003 till date. In support of its plea, the petitioner has filed a statement. Sri O. Manohar Reddy, the learned standing counsel for AP TRANSCO, appearing for the respondents, after obtaining instructions from the respondents, placed before this Court a detailed statement of account commencing from September, 2002 till November, 2010 and submitted that the statement shows that the variation in the outstanding amounts depended upon the amounts received from the petitioner and the timing of the payment by it. On a careful consideration of the respective submissions of the learned counsel for the parties, I am of the view that the dispute raised in this writ petition is primarily concerned with the correctness or otherwise of the accounts maintained by the respondents pertaining to the electricity charges relating to the petitioner’s service connection. Therefore, it is neither appropriate nor possible for this Court to examine this aspect, while exercising its jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. If the petitioner feels aggrieved by the arrears as shown by the respondents, it is apt that it shall make a detailed representation to respondent No.2 with reference to the statement submitted by the respondents today in the Court. On receipt of such representation, respondent No.2 shall consider the same and reconcile the accounts holding a meeting with the petitioner’s representative after notice to it. The petitioner is directed to make such a representation within a period of one week from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Respondent No.2 shall complete the conciliation process within a period of two weeks thereafter. Till such exercise is completed, the electricity supply to the petitioner shall not be disconnected subject its paying the consumption charges regularly. Subject to the above directions, the Writ Petition is disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.No.40195 of 2010 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. ________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J 27th December, 2010 GHN
