ORAL ORDER

PER JUSTICE MR. V.R. KINGAONKAR

None has appeared for the parties.

          The petitioner was absent on previous date also.  We have gone through the order of the State Commission.  The State Commission allowed the First Appeal No. 1479/2004 filed by the respondents on the ground that the revision petitioner had filed a Civil Suit, which ultimately ended in direction to filing a dispute before the Disputes Settlement Committee of the present respondents.  The Disputes Settlement Committee rendered order against the present revision petitioner.  He had not challenged that order by filing any appeal or revision before the Zonal Level Disputes Committee, Bhatinda.  It appears from the record that the revision petitioner was having electricity supply connection bearing A/c No. MS 31.  He used to run a rice mill styled as “Bharat            Rice Mill” at Muktsar.  It appears from the record that the rice-shelling mill was a seasonal industry and as such minimum charges were levied for 4 months and 15 days.  The bill demanded from the petitioner was for such period, whereby minimum charges were demanded.  The revision petitioner failed to file on record of the Fora below, copy of the application dated 03-09-1993, which he allegedly had submitted for the purpose of disconnection of the electric supply.  Obviously, there was no illegality in demanding the minimum bill from the revision petitioner.  On merits, we find that the impugned order is legal and proper.  No substance in the revision petition.  Hence, it is dismissed.
