Learned counsel appearing for the appellants submits that in view of recent decision of the Supreme Court in “Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation Limited And Others vs. Anis Ahmad, (2013 8 SCC 491)”       the appellants may be permitted to withdraw this appeal with liberty to approach the appropriate forum for redressal of their grievance relating to the bill raised by the respondents.

               Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed as withdrawn with liberty as prayed.

               It goes without saying that on appellants’ taking recourse to appropriate remedy with an application for condonation of delay, the forum concerned shall take into consideration the factum of pendency of these proceedings commencing with the filing of the complaint under Consumer Protection Act, 1986.
