K.BALAKRISHNAN NAIR,J. ------------------------------------------ WP(C)NO.6300 OF 2007-Y ------------------------------------------ Judgment The petitioner has approached this Court, alleging that the electricity meter fixed in his premises by the KSEB is faulty and it is registering very high readings, which are disproportionate to the actual consumption. The learned Standing Counsel upon instruction submitted that the petitioner's meter has already been changed and a new meter has been installed. This submission is recorded. The 2nd respondent is directed to examine the grievance of the petitioner that the previous meter was not recording the correct consumption, having regard to the reading registered by the present meter. If the grievance of the petitioner is found to be genuine, the 2nd respondent will pass appropriate orders to redress the same within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this Judgment. The Writ Petition is disposed of as above. 20.03.2007 K.BALAKRISHNAN NAIR,JUDGE sta 2
