THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION NO.16535 OF 2004 Dated 15th July, 2010 Between: M/s Sanghi Polyesters Limited …Petitioner And Central Power Distribution Company of A.P Ltd And another …Respondents Counsel for the petitioner : Sri C.Kodanda Ram Counsel for the respondents: Sri O.Manohar Reddy The Court made the following ORDER: This writ petition is filed for a Mandamus to declare the action of the respondents in not supplying power through a pre-payment meter in terms of Section 47 (5) of the Electricity Act, 2003 (for short “the Act”) as arbitrary and ultra vires the provisions of the Act. A perusal of the record shows that the writ petition was filed on the cause of action arisen on account of demand of additional consumption deposit for the year 2004-2005 in terms of Clauses 28.2, 28.5 and 28.6 of the terms and conditions of supply of the respondents. In view of the fact that the said year, for which the demand was made, has expired, the cause of action ceased to exist though the issue raised in the writ petition survives for adjudication in appropriate proceedings. In this view of the matter, the writ petition is disposed of as infructuous with liberty to the petitioner to raise the issue as and when it arises for consideration in future. C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Dated 15th July, 2010 vrn
