THE HON’BLE Mr. JUSTICE GODA RAGHURAM TUESDAY, THE 07th DAY OF FEBRUARY, 2006 W.P.No. 2225 of 2006 Between:- Bandaram Rachana --Petitioner And The Principal General Manager (BSNL), Telecom District Hyderabad, Suryalok Complex, Gunfoundry, Hyderabad and another. --Respondents THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE GODA RAGHURAM W.P.No. 2225 of 2006 Oral order:- In respect of the same grievance urged herein, viz., dis-connection of Telephone No.27506994 with effect from 16-01-2006, even though the petitioner claims to have paid the bill amount on 16-01-2006 itself and much prior to the due date specified in the bill dated 11-01-2006, the petitioner has approached the District Consumer Forum, Court No.III, Hyderabad by way of C.C.No. 67 of 2006 along with an interlocutory application seeking re-connection of the telephone. The writ petition is filed as the District Consumer Forum is stated to have refused to grant interim relief and has posted the main case to 03-03-2006. The petitioner does not, in specie, challenge the order of the District Consumer Forum refusing to grant the interim order. Instead it assails the action of the BSNL in disconnecting the telephone of the petitioner despite payment of the bill amount. The petitioner shall not be permitted to pursue parallel proceedings, one before the District Consumer Forum and the one by way of this writ petition. As the petitioner had already chosen and opted for pursuing the consumer dispute, she cannot now be permitted to pursue this writ petition. The writ petition is dismissed accordingly. No costs. __________________ GODA RAGHURAM, J Date: 07-02-2006 Pvks/*
