Petitioner has preferred Ext.P4 appeal before the Panchayat Committee. I heard learned counsel for the Panchayat and the learned counsel for the Electricity Board also. In view of the fact that as against Ext.P3 petitioner has already approached the Panchayat Committee, the writ petition is disposed of directing the third respondent to consider and take a decision on Ext.P4 after hearing the petitioner within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. In order to facilitate the petitioner to approach the appellate body, Ext.P3 will be kept in abeyance for the period of three weeks from today. Ext.P6 will also be kept in abeyance for a period of three weeks from today. Thereafter it is for the petitioner to seek interim relief from the appellate body. (K.M.JOSEPH, JUDGE) sv.
