W.P.(C) No.17278 of 2007 .................................................................... Dated this the 7th day of June, 2007. JUDGMENT Prayer is only for direction to the KSEB to consider petitioner's application for separate connection in the balance rooms in addition to the connection already given in one of the rooms. There will be direction to respondents 2 and 3 to consider petitioner's application for connection in accordance with the norms. So far as the balance arrears is concerned, since petitioner has already paid Rs.10,000/-, petitioner is granted four equal instalments to clear the balance arrears due under Ext.P5. Since supply is disconnected on account of arrears, the concerned respondent will restore connection on payment of first instalment. Subsequent instalments will be paid on or before 15th July, 15th August and 15th September respectively. The petitioner's application for other connection will be considered and if declined, reason should be communicated to the petitioner within two weeks from date of filing applications. W.P. is disposed of as above. C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR Judge pms
