Against Ext.P1 series, the petitioners have preferred Ext.P2 before the Consumer Grievance Redressal Forum namely, the 4th respondent. In the meantime, they faced with disconnection on account of non- payment of the amounts demanded in Ext.P1 series. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners are small vendors. 2. I heard learned standing counsel also. Writ petition is disposed of directing the 4th respondent to consider and take a decision on Ext.P2 in accordance with law, after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioners, within a period of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. Proceedings pursuant to Ext.P1 series will be kept in abeyance on condition that the petitioners remit 20% of the amounts demanded in Ext.P1 series within ten days from today. The payment made as aforesaid will be subject to the decision taken by the 4th respondent. Sd/- (K.M.JOSEPH, JUDGE) aks
