All the petitioners concerns are aggrieved by the imposition of penalties by the S.P.D.C.L. on their power consumptions pursuant to the Restriction and Control (R&C) measures introduced in the State by the 1st respondent. Hence, the petitioners concerns filed these writ petitions.

4.

At the hearing, learned counsel for the petitioners in these writ petitions, learned Standing Counsel appearing for the 1st respondent and the learned Standing Counsel appearing for the respondents 2 and 3 fairly submit that the issue involved in these writ petitions is squarely covered by the orders, dated 21.09.2013, of this Court passed in W.P.No.10772 of 2013 and batch.
