The petitioner seeks deferred payment of the amount demanded in Exts.P3 and P4 notices totalled in Ext.P5 disconnection notice.

I permit the petitioner to pay the amount so demanded with applicable interest in four equal monthly instalments starting from 30.06.2015. The electricity connection shall not be snapped pursuant to Ext.P5 notice if the petitioner complies with the conditions in time. The electricity connection can be snapped and coercive steps taken if any one of the instalments are defaulted by the petitioner.

The Writ Petition is disposed of.
