Mr. Sagar Bandyopadhyay, Mr. Kaushik Chatterjee, Ms. Sofia Nesar .... for the petitioner in WPA 5733 of 2023

Mr. Suresh Sahni, Mr. Soumik Ghosh, Mr. Tanoy Chakraborty, Ms. Karuna Bose .... for the petitioners in WPA 6674 of 2023

Mr. Prasun Mukherjee, Mr. Deepak Agarwal .... for the DVC

It is contended by the petitioners that vide

unreported judgment dated March 16, 2023 passed in

another matter in an identical dispute, the court had

allowed the writ petitions on the premise that as far as

the APTEL order dated July 01, 2022, which governs

all affected consumers of the DVC, is concerned, the

same applies in full rigour in respect of all the said

writ petitioners, who are all similarly affected

consumers of the DVC.

The same logic applies to the present petitioners

as well.

However, since learned counsel for the DVC

submits that they have preferred an appeal against

the order dated March 16, 2023 only recently, in order

to enable the DVC to bring an interim order of stay, if

so passed by the Division Bench, the matters are

adjourned till March 28, 2023, when these two

matters will be listed along with WPA No. 6283 of

2023, under the same heading.
