7.Admittedly, the Tamilnadu Electricity Distribution Code or Tamilnadu Electricity Supply Code does not empower the respondents / Electricity Board to cancel the load shedding exemption granted to the petitioner or withdraw the dedicated feeder supply on the ground that the petitioner has instituted Court cases against the respondents / Electricity Board. Further insofar as the second ground mentioned in the impugned letter, namely, the petitioner should pay the audit arrears within 15 days is concerned, they have been challenged by the petitioner before this Court and in some cases, they have also sent replies, which have been accepted by the respondents / Electricity Board. Further under the impugned letter, the details of audit arrears that is payable by the petitioner has also not been mentioned. This being the case, the impugned letter is arbitrary and has been issued without any authority under law as the Tamilnadu Electricity Distribution Code as well as Tamilnadu Electricity Supply Code does not entitle the respondents/ Electricity Board to issue such a letter. It is also not in dispute that the petitioner has been regularly paying the charges without committing default to the respondents / Electricity Board for the dedicated feeder supply granted by the Electricity Board.
