This appeal is filed against the common judgment, dated 6.4.2009, in W.P.(C) No.25610 of 2008. The matter pertains to classification of educational institutions under LT VII A commercial tariff. This Court has disposed of the connected cases, as per common judgment, dated 17.8.2009, in W.A.No.1064 of 2009 and connected cases, in the following lines. “x x x x 22. For the various reasons stated as above, we declare that inclusion of Self Financing Educational Institutions under LT VII(A) as a commercial consumer is bad in law in so far as such differentiation is not for any of the grounds specified under Section 62(3) of the Act. Accordingly, we allow all the writ appeals and the writ petitions. They will be treated like falling WA.No.2052/2009 2 under Tariff VI until any new notification is issued in accordance with law.” In the light of the above judgment, extending the benefit of the judgment in W.A.No.1064 of 2009 and connected cases to the appellant herein, who is similarly placed, this writ appeal is disposed of. P.R.RAMAN, JUDGE P.R.RAMACHANDRA MENON, JUDGE. nj.
