Ltd., rep. by its Chief Engineer/IPC, Hyderabad and others. ….Petitioners and The A.P. State Electricity Regulatory Commission, rep. by its Secretary, Hyderabad and others. ….Respondents THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.24919 OF 2004 and W.P.Nos.12, 37, 574, 604, 605, 606, 607, 608, 609 & 679 OF 2005 COMMON ORDER : All the writ petitions are filed by the Transmission Corporation of A.P. Limited aggrieved by the orders passed by the Andhra Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission. Against the orders impugned passed by the Regulatory Commission, though the Electricity Act, 2003 provides for an appeal, since by the date of the impugned orders, no such Appellate Forum was constituted, this Court entertained the writ petitions and while directing Rule Nisi, granted interim stay of all further proceedings in pursuance of the impugned orders. However, when the matters are taken up for consideration, it is brought to my notice by the learned Counsel for both the parties that during the pendency of the writ petitions, an Appellate Forum has been constituted and is functioning as of today. In the circumstances, I am of the opinion that it is not necessary for this Court to go into the merits of the case, but it would be appropriate to dispose of the writ petitions granting liberty to the petitioners to prefer appeals against the impugned orders before the Appellate Forum within a period of eight weeks from today in which event the same will be entertained and decided in accordance with law. It is made clear that in the meanwhile the interim stay granted by this Court in these writ petitions shall continue for a period of eight weeks from today. The Writ Petitions are accordingly disposed of. No costs. __________________ 14th November, 2005. ghn
