Case of petitioner is as follows. Petitioner club is stated to be registered under the Travancore-Cochin Literary Scientific and Charitable Societies Registration Act, 1955, vide Ext.P1. The connection is taken for the use of social and cultural activities. It is stated that the electricity is being charged under LT VII A applicable to commercial establishments. According to the petitioner, it has to be charged under LT VI as the club is not commercial and no business activity is going on in the premise of the club. Petitioner also relies on Ext.P2 tariff schedule. The petitioner represented the matter before respondents 1 and 2. I feel that a decision should be taken in the matter by the 2nd respondent. WPC.32181/08 : 2 : Accordingly, writ petition is disposed of directing the 2nd respondent to consider and take a decision on Ext.P3 in accordance with law and communicate the decision to the petitioner within three weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The petitioner will also be afforded an opportunity of being heard for which the petitioner may be present before the 2nd respondent at 11 a.m. on 12.11.2008. (K.M.JOSEPH, JUDGE) aks
