Petitioner also seeks a direction to respondents 3 to 5 to dispose of Exts.P7 and P8 considering Clause 2(c) (ii) of Exts.P4, P2 and P3. The further prayer is for a direction to the third respondent to fix the additional quota of minimum 2,50,000 units in view of Exts.P2 and P3 and above the quota fixed by Ext.P6. 2. I heard learned Senior Counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner and also the learned Standing Counsel appearing on behalf of the respondents. 3. Learned Standing Counsel points out that the petitioner has remedy available to it by way of approaching the Consumer Grievance Redressal Forum, Ernakulam. 4. Accordingly, I feel that the petitioner can be relegated to the pursuit of the remedy before the CGRF, Ernakulam. The writ petition is disposed of as follows: If the petitioner prefers petition against Ext.P6 and P9 bill before the CGRF, Ernakulam, a decision thereon in accordance with law will be taken within two months from the date of filing of the petition after WPC. 25312/2008. 2 affording an opportunity of hearing to the petitioner. Proceedings against the petitioner will be kept in abeyance on condition that the petitioner continues to pay the regular bills in time and also pays 40% of the additional amount demanded within two weeks from today.
