J U D G M E N T The issue involved in this Writ Petition is whether the respondents are justified in insisting the petitioner to satisfy the amount covered by various bills, which in fact have already been stayed by this Court in different orders in different Writ Petitions. 2. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that, the bills issued by the respondents are not in conformity with the actual facts and figures, which have been subjected to challenge by filing different Writ Petitions before this Court and they have been stayed as per order like Exts.P4 to P7. The question of law has also been considered by another learned Judge of this Court in W.P.(C) No.14917 of 2006 leading to Ext.P11 judgment, whereby positive directions have been given to the respondent Board to consider and extend necessary relief without insisting for the payment of the amounts under the impugned Bills, which have already been stayed by this Court. The learned counsel for the petitioner also submits W.P(C) No.25537 of 2010-N 2 that, the petitioner is ready and willing to give an undertaking before the respondents to the effect that the petitioner will not transfer or alienate the property concerned to anybody else till the proceedings wherein interim orders have been passed, are finalized by this Court. 4. In the above circumstances, there will be a direction to the concerned respondents to consider the application of the petitioner for granting the enhanced power allocation and finalise the proceedings on satisfaction of the statutory requirements and on furnishing the undertaking as above, besides satisfying the amounts due, if any, other than the amounts covered by Ext.P4 to P8. The steps shall be finalized by the respondents as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The Writ Petition is disposed of.
