THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 07/03/2008,THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: THOTTATHIL B. RADHAKRISHNAN, J. ------------------------------- W.P(C) No. 3814 OF 2008 ----------------------------------- Dated this the 7th day of March, 2008 JUDGMENT The complaint of the petitioner against the impugned revenue recovery proceedings is that, the request for reducing the amounts owing to a minimum guarantee agreement was not properly attended to. According to her, she is not liable to pay the amounts. If the petitioner has dispute for the amount demanded, and she was not obliged to pay the minimum guarantee amount, the Consumer Grievances Redressal Forum, having jurisdiction over the area, can consider the same. Since such remedy is available to the petitioner, this writ petition is disposed of relegating the petitioner to the CGRF. Hoping that proceedings will culminate before the CGRF within a period of three weeks from today, the impugned revenue recovery is deferred by four months and to be regulated thereafter by the decision of the CGRF.
