JUDGMENT : Rajendra Menon, J. In the present case, learned Writ Court has only relegated the petitioner to take recourse to the alternative remedy under Section 42(5) of the Electricity Act and in doing so, we are of the considered view, the learned Writ Court has not committed any error warranting re-consideration. 2. Learned counsel appearing for the appellant tried to indicate that earlier in certain other petitions indulgence was made by this Court. Once there is a statutory remedy and the learned Writ Court has refused to exercise its discretionary jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution, we see no reason to make any indulgence into the mater. 3. Granting liberty to the petitioner to take recourse to the statutory remedy under Section 42(5) of the Electricity Act, we dispose of the matter.
