Since petitioner has undertaken to clear the arrears in instalment, this writ petition is disposed of directing respondents to grant fresh connection on application filed by the petitioner and on complying with the formalities and along with it on petitioner clearing the arrears in five equal monthly instalments, first of which will be paid on or before 10/09/2007. Petitioner’s application for power connection will be entertained on payment of first instalment of arrears. Balance instalment will be paid along with the monthly regular bills if petitioner gets new connection, or otherwise on or before last date of four months succeeding thereafter. However, if any default is committed in payment of any of the arrear instalments along with the regular monthly bills, disconnection can be effected then and there, if connection is given. If petitioner commits default in payment of any of the instalments, the instalment facility granted will also stand automatically cancelled on first default and respondents can proceed for recovering arrears at the earliest.
