(P) Ltd. ...Petitioner versus UHBVNL and others ...Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SURYA KANT Present : Mr. Sanjeev Ghai, Advocate for Mr. Puneet Jindal, Advocate, for the petitioner. SURYA KANT, J. (ORAL) The petitioner seeks a direction to the respondents to accept its request and allow reduction in the load of Large Supply Industrial connection Account No. SM 5/17 from 175 KVA to 70.5 KVA w.e.f November, 2008. In sum and substance, the petitioner's case is that the above-stated connection with power load of 175 KVA was sanctioned for running the industrial unit. However, due to acute recession, the petitioner's industrial unit is stated to have become sick and has been shut down since September, 2008. It is the petitioner's case that on 10.10.2008, the respondents were requested to reduce the power load from 175 KVA to 70.5 KVA to enable it to retain the large supply Industrial Connection. C.W.P NO. 4747 OF 2009 -2- However, despite several reminders followed by a legal notice dated 25.02.2009 (Annexure P-5), no action has been taken by the respondents and the petitioner is still being billed on the basis of previous sanctioned power load. Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and keeping in view the nature of relief sought in this writ petition, but without expressing any views on merits of the same, I deem it appropriate to dispose of this writ petition with a direction to respondents No.2 and 3 to take cognizance of the legal notice dated 25.02.2009 served on behalf of the petitioner and dispose of the same by passing a speaking order within a period of one month from the date of receipt of certified copy of this order. Disposed of. Let a copy of this order be given dasti on payment of usual charges. MARCH 25, 2009 (SURYA KANT) shalini JUDGE
