JUDGMENT

All that the petitioner prays is for easy instalments to pay the amount demanded in Ext. P3 order accompanied by Ext.P2 bill. The order reflects imposition of penalty on the petitioner under Section 126 of the Electricity Act, 2003.

2.

I direct the petitioner to pay the amount demanded in three equal monthly instalments starting from 31.07.2015. The coercive steps pursuant to Ext. P2 notice shall be put on hold if the instalments are paid in time. The coercive steps can continue if any one instalment is defaulted.

The writ petition is disposed of.
