Judgment :- The writ petition has been filed seeking for the issuance of a writ of mandamus directing the second respondent to grant time extension to the petitioners for payment of February 2007 monthly electricity bill for HT SC 164 electricity bill till 33. 2007. 2. The prayer is made on the following grounds:- The petitioner is an industry involved in manufacturing iron and steel products in Hosur Taluk, Dharmapuri District having High Tension Electricity Service Connection (HT) HTSC.164. Due to frequent break down of machineries and power shut down, the industry could not run for the entire month. Hence, the Industry is not in a position to pay the arrears of consumption charges before 23. 2007. According to the petitioner, as per the Tamil Nadu Electricity Supply Code under Regulation 15, the consumers like that of the petitioner were allowed to make an application to the respondent concerned for payment of consumption charges beyond the expiry of the notice period. Hence, the petitioner has applied to the second respondent on 14.03.2007 to allow the petitioner to make the payment for the consumption charges for the month of February 2007 by extending the due date from 22.03.2007 and allowing the petitioner to pay on or before 31.03.2007. The said application has not been considered by the second respondent. Hence the present writ petition with the prayer as stated above. 3. I have heard the learned counsel who argued in line with the facts above stated. 4. The learned counsel Mr. J. Ravindran appearing for the respondents submits that the representation of the petitioner would be considered and appropriate orders would be passed as expeditiously as possible, in all probability, within two days. He also pointed out that in certain cases, the consumers of electricity are moving this Court even without making an application before the second respondent. In this case, the petitioner is stated to have filed an application on 14.03.2007 and that would be considered and disposed of positively within 25th March 2007. 5.
