JUSTICE SHRI.K.R.UDAYABHANU,PRESIDENT

          The appellants are the opposite parties in CC.236/09  in the file of CDRF, Ernakulam.  The bill issued by the appellant/opposite parties for a sum of Rs.1800/- stands cancelled. 

2. The petitioner has been issued the penal bill alleging that the out house of the complainant has been let on rent with effect from October 2008 and that the complainant had applied for separate electric connection only on 10.2.09.    We find that at best the difference of duration of the period for which the out house was occupied by another family is less than 4 months.  There can be no justification for issuing a bill amounting to Rs.1,08,000/-.  We find that there is no scope for admitting the appeal. 

          3. In the result, the appeal is dismissed in-limine.

          The office is directed to forward the copy of this judgment to the Forum urgently.

JUSTICE  K.R.UDAYABHANU  --  PRESIDENT
