THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA W.P. No. 6089 of 2009 Oral order: The petitioner has questioned the proceedings dated 15.12.2008, issued by the 3rd respondent, as illegal and arbitrary, and consequently direct the respondents not to disconnect power supply to the petitioner. Admittedly, vide the above proceedings, the 3rd respondent agreed to restore the power supply, subject to the petitioner paying Rs.17,13,863/-, and vide another proceedings dated 15.03.2009, granted eight instalments, which instalments, admittedly were granted by the 3rd respondent upon the request made by the petitioner. The petitioner, despite granting instalments, defaulted in payment of the amounts. The petitioner except seeking to direct the respondents not to disconnect power supply, has not shown any legal provision, which entitles him to have power supply, despite non-payment of the bills. The petitioner having failed to pay the instalments granted by the 3rd respondent at his request, cannot be permitted to invoke the equity jurisdiction of this Court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. In the above view of the matter, I find no reason whatsoever to interfere with the impugned proceedings. There is no merit in the writ petition, and the same is accordingly dismissed. No costs. ________________ N.V. RAMANA, J. Date: 24th March, 2009 KSR
