THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN W.P. NO. 4560 of 2004 DATED: 25.07.2007 Between:_ P. Rajasekhar Reddy. ..PETITIONER And Andhra Pradesh State Electricity Board, Vidyut Soudha, Hyderabad, represented by its Chairman and 4 others. ..RESPONDENTS THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION NO. 4560 of 2004 O R D E R While the action of the respondents in fixing the liability of the petitioner at Rs. 26,488/- is sought to be justified in the counter affidavit, a perusal of the order of the appellate authority dated 11.08.2003, which order is impugned in this writ petition, is cryptic and bereft of reasons. Except for recording the fact that a sum of Rs. 13,148/- had already been paid by the petitioner, and calling upon him to pay balance amount of Rs. 9,620-50 ps., nothing else is stated in the order under appeal. Sri M. Sivananda Kumar, learned counsel for the petitioner, would take this Court through the objections raised by the petitioner in his petition dated 20.05.2003. While several contentions are raised, none of them have even been referred to, let alone considered in the impugned order. The impugned order dated 11.08.2003 is, accordingly, quashed and the 2nd respondent is directed to pass a reasoned order in accordance with law and communicate the same to the petitioner. The writ petition is, accordingly, disposed of. No costs. ___________________________ RAMESH RANGANATHANA, J Dated: 25.07.2007 vp
