P.T.ASHA,J.

This matter is listed today under the caption 'for being mentioned' at the instance of the learned counsel for the petitioner.

The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner would submit that this Court, by order dated 15.10.2025, has passed orders disposing the above writ petition. However, it is pointed out that in the operative portion of the said order, certain averments unconnected with the present case have been inadvertently reflected. Hence, the learned counsel seeks necessary correction in the order.

“2. In the light of the order passed in W.P(MD).No.14652 of 2024, this

Writ Petition is disposed of directing the respondent to reduce the sanctioned load and the payment of the amounts demanded in the impugned order shall await the result of Appeal No.383 of 2024 pending before the Appellate Tribunal for Electricity, New Delhi.
