SIRI JAGAN, J ................................................ W.P(C) No. 35232 of 2009 ................................................. Dated this the 10th day of December, 2009 J U D G M E N T The petitioner challenges disconnection of electricity supply for non-payment of penal bill issued on the ground of unauthorised additional load used by the petitioner. According to the petitioner, the petitioner has not used any additional load as contended by the respondents. I am of opinion that since the petitioner has already submitted Ext.P3 objection to the bills, it is only appropriate that the 2nd respondent considers that objection and pass appropriate orders thereon after hearing the petitioner. This shall be done, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. In the meanwhile, the electricity supply shall be restored to the petitioner immediately on payment of 50% of the amount covered by the disputed bills. The writ petition is disposed of as above. sd/- S. SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE rhs // True copy // PA to Judge
