J U D G M E N T

The writ petition was filed at a time when no proper appellate authority was constituted under Section 127 of the Electricity Act, 2003. Now that an appellate authority has been properly constituted pursuant to Mohammed Haji v. Kerala State Electricity Board [2014(3) KLT 706]. The petitioner is therefore entitled to impugn Ext. P7 order passed under Section 126 of the Electricity Act, 2003 in appeal. 2.

Any appeal filed within one month from today shall be dealt with within two months therefrom. The interim order staying disconnection of electricity supply to the petitioner's establishment shall continue in the meanwhile. Needless to say that the amount already deposited by the petitioner pursuant to the interim order in this writ petition shall be given credit to. This shall be for the purpose of making up the statutory deposit in terms of Section 127 of the Electricity Act, 2003.

The writ petition is disposed of.

V.CHITAMBARESH JUDGE DCS
