No. 1031 of 2009, it has also examined the issue on merit. Having heard counsel for the parties, this Court is satisfied that the impugned order passed by the Assistant Engineer, refusing to give electrical connection on the ground of certain dues on the premises, in question, allegedly belonging to the petitioner, would be made subject matter of an application to be filed before the Forum created by the Bihar Electricity Regulatory Authority in terms of Section 42(5) of the Act. In that view of the matter, this application is disposed of with a liberty to the petitioner to approach the said Forum, wherein the petitioner can assail the order of the Assistant Engineer refusing to give electric connection to the petitioner. With the aforementioned observation, this application is disposed of. Rsh (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
