CORAM : NARESH H. PATIL AND G.S. KULKARNI, JJ. DATE : 27th JUNE 2018
P.C.:
The learned Counsel appearing for the petitioners has placed on record a compilation of documents in chamber summons. It is submitted that the subject issue is pending before the Appellate Tribunal for Electricity in pursuance of the order passed by this Court in Writ Petition No.2544 of 2015 (Coram: S.C.

Considering the submissions advanced before us, in our opinion, the

issue need not be dealt with in public interest litigation. However, the parties are free to resort to alternate remedy before the appropriate forum. Accordingly, the Public Interest Litigation stands disposed of. In view of disposal of the public interest litigation, chamber summons (stamp) No.203 of 2018 does not survive. It is accordingly disposed of.
