CORAM:

HONOURABLE MR.

JUSTICE SAMARENDRA PRATAP SINGH ORAL ORDER 24-09-2015 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the respondents.

The petitioner got NDS-II connection in October, 2002. His electric line was disconnected for non-payment of arrears amounting to Rs.46,110/-. The petitioner disputes the bill. He submits that in case the bill is corrected, he is willing to pay the same. He further submits that as he is not economically sound, installments may be granted.

In my view, if the petitioner approaches respondent no.3 with a detailed representation, he would dispose of the petitioner's representation within three months after providing a

Patna High Court CWJC No.20922 of 2013 (2) dt.24-09-2015 2 / 2 personal hearing to him.

With the aforesaid direction, this application stands disposed of.
