No.20155 of 2009 --------------------------------- Dated, this the 22nd day of July, 2009 J U D G M E N T The petitioner was a sick industrial unit, which was under closure. Thereafter power supply was also disconnected. It is stated that on 02/08/2005, Government of Kerala, announced certain concessions to those industries which reopen on or before 31/12/2008. The petitioner states that by Ext.P2 order dated 30/08/2008, the Board has also adopted the Government order. By Ext.P3, the petitioner claimed the benefit of Ext.P2, which was allowed by Ext.P5 order of the 2nd respondent. 2. A reading of Ext.P5 dated 15/01/2009 shows that the petitioner was to pay the amount in six instalments to get reconnection. Accordingly, the petitioner paid the first instalment as per Ext.P7, and the learned counsel submits that the entire instalments have been paid. Despite all these, it is complained that reconnection as ordered in Ext.P5 has not so far been given. 3. If as stated by the petitioner, the amount due to the WP(C) No.20155/2009 -2- Board under Ext.P5 has been paid, there is no reason why reconnection should not be given. 4. Therefore, the writ petition is disposed of directing that if the instalments due under Ext.P5 have already been paid, reconnection as ordered therein shall be given to the petitioner, subject to the petitioner providing necessary installations in the company premises. The writ petition is disposed of as above. (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) jg
