THE ASSISTANT ENGINEER ELECTRICAL SECTION, PAYANGADI. BY ADV. SRI.P.P.THAJUDEEN, SC. THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 14/02/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: Thottathil B. Radhakrishnan, J. ================================== W.P.(C)No.4095 of 2008 ================================== Dated this the 14th day of February, 2008. JUDGMENT The impugned Ext.P1 is one issued imposing surcharge on an outstanding amount due under excess demand bill dated 27-3-2000. Even before that, the petitioner had an excess demand bill issued on 15- 4-1998 against which he moved O.P.No.13632 of 2000 and has relegated an appeal before the Deputy Chief Engineer. The petitioner does not have a case that he appealed against that bill before the Deputy Chief Engineer. Obviously, the petitioner cannot sustain this writ petition since the impugned Ext.P1 is merely a follow up action of a demand outstanding for the last 10 years. I do not find any ground to interfere with Ext.P1. Writ petition fails. It is hence dismissed. Thottathil B.Radhakrishnan, sl. Judge.
