PETITIONER AND The Assistant Divisional Engineer, Electrical O & M, APCPDC, Nalgonda District, and two others. .....RESPONDENTS THE HON'BLE MS JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.5183 of 2004 O R D E R: This writ petition is filed seeking a declaration that the alleged action of the respondents in adding extra units of consumption of electricity over and above the actual consumption to the electricity bills of petitioner pertaining to Service Connection No.1474 as illegal and arbitrary. This Court, while ordering Rule Nisi on 19-03-2004, directed the respondents not to collect extra amount from the petitioner over and above the actual consumption of electricity in respect of the Service Connection-in-question. However, it was made clear that the respondents are at liberty to proceed with the show-cause notice already issued and with the enquiry. In the counter-affidavit filed on behalf of the respondents, though the averments made by the petitioner have been denied, it is stated that the petitioner ought to have made a representation before the Divisional Engineer (Operation), Andhra Pradesh Central Power Distribution Company, Nalgonda, raising all the objections, in which event, the same would have been considered and necessary action would have been taken. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, I am not inclined to express any opinion with regard to the controversy raised by the petitioner, instead I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition granting liberty to the petitioner to raise objections, if any, with regard to the impugned action of the respondents, before the Divisional Engineer (Operation), AP Central Power Distribution Company, Nalgonda, within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. In which event, the said authority shall consider the same and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law. Till such time, the respondents are directed not to collect extra amount from the petitioner over and above the actual consumption of electricity in respect of Service Connection No.1474. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No costs. _____________ (G. ROHINI, J) Date:17-10-2005 ghn/klp THE HON’BLE MS.
