According to the petitioner, it was being charged energy charges, classifying itself under LT IV tariff. Even in Ext.P2 draft proposal published by the 1st respondent, the proposal was to retain such classification. However, when proceedings were concluded by Ext.P3, the petitioner's industry was included in the LT VII A tariff. In view of this, the petitioner had filed Ext.P6 application before the 1st respondent seeking reconsideration of the matter. 2. According to the counsel for the petitioner, Ext.P6 is already listed for hearing and this Writ Petition has been filed seeking expeditious disposal of Ext.P6 and to direct that in the meanwhile status quo shall be maintained. Petitioner is also referring to Ext.P7 judgment passed by this Court in an identical case. I heard the Standing Counsel appearing for respondents. 3. Having regard to the above facts and also taking into account the nature of the order that has been passed in Ext.P7 judgment, I dispose of this Writ Petition directing that the 1st WPC No. 13283 OF 2008 2 respondent shall pass final orders on Ext.P6, as expeditiously as possible and at any rate, within four months from today. It is directed that, in the meanwhile, the petitioner will be permitted to pay electricity charges under LT IV tariff. The Writ Petition is disposed of as above.
