All the bills were paid before 12th of every month. He has remitted Rs.220/- as the bill amount for the month of June as 11/6/09 and a receipt was issued by the 2ndrespondent in this regard. But the connection was cut on 12/6/09. On enquiry on 23/6/09 it was told that the disconnection was due to non remittance of the bill. The complainant was a social worker and he is the office bearer of some of this kind of social service organizations. Due to the disconnection of telephone the complainant failed to attend so many activities. So a notice was issued on 7/7/09. Following the receipt of the notice the telephone connection was restored.
