JUSTICE KULDEEP TIWARI Present : Mr. Jagdish Singh Mahal, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr.Pardeep Bajaj, DAG, Punjab. KULDEEP TIWARI, J.(Oral) 1. Through the instant writ petition filed under Article 226/227 of the Constitution of India, a prayer is made for issuance of a mandamus upon the respondents, to remove the electricity wires running over the house of the present petitioner. 2. A perusal of the instant petition reflects that, in fact it is a misconceived motion, inasmuch as, despite the petitioner being seized of an alternate and efficacious statutory remedy for redressal of his grievance before the Consumer Grievances Redressal Forum concerned constituted by the distribution licencee, under the provisions of Electricity Act, yet he has sidetracked the said remedy and have straightway accessed this Court, through instituting the present petition.

Faced with the above difficulty, learned counsel for the petitioner seeks permission of this Court to withdraw the instant petition, with liberty to approach the Consumer Grievances Redressal Forum concerned, for redressal of his grievance. 4. Dismissed as withdraw with the aforesaid liberty. 5. In case, the petitioner files an apt motion before the forum concerned, within 15 days from today, the latter concerned, shall make its all endeavours to decide the same within a period of 02 weeks thereafter, after giving an adequate opportunity to hearing to the petitioner.
