Judgment : 1. The petitioner is a High Tension consumer of electricity with the authorised load of 350 KVA. During the month of December, 2004, the factory was closed for repairs and annual maintenance. Ext. P1 is the minimum guarantee agreement, which contained clause 14(b) which permits waiver of minimum demand in case of satisfaction of creditors mentioned therein which, according to the petitioner, includes closure on account break down of machinery. The petitioner submitted Ext. P4 claim for waiver of minimum demand for the month of December, 2004. According to the petitioner, by Ext. P5, the 3rd respondent called for a report from the 4th respondent in respect thereof. By Ext. P6, the Accounts Officer recommended that the invoice for the month of December 2004 is to be revised as per rules taking note of the fact that the Company was not working due to annual maintenance work during the period in question. Despite the same, Ext. P7 further demand was issued demanding arrears of current charges. It is under the above circumstances the petitioner has filed this writ petition seeking the following reliefs: "i. To call for the records connected with the case leading to Exts.P 2 and P7 and quash the same by issuing a writ of certiorari. ii. To declare that the petitioner is entitled for reduction in MD charges in the light of Clause 14(b) of the HT agreement for the month of 12/22004. iii. To direct the 3rd respondent not to demand continued penalty on the allegation of unauthorized additional load, while issuing the monthly bills. iv. To direct the 3rd t to consider and pass orders on Ext. P4 expeditiously, keeping in abeyance Exts.P.2 and P7." Counsel for the petitioner submits that in view of Ext. P6 recommendation of he Accounts Officer, the 3rd respondent is bound to consider Ext. P4 application for waiver of minimum demand charges for the month of December, 2004 in the light of Ext. P6. The petitioner therefore seeks a direction to that effect. 2. I have heard the standing counsel for the Electricity Board also. Having heard both sides, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 3rd respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext. P4 taking into account Ext. P6.
