Ashok B. Hinchigeri, J.

1. The petitioner has called into question the Orders, dated 4.7.2009 (Annexure-J) and 27.4.2011 (Annexure-A) passed by the respondent Nos.2 and 3 respectively.

2. The facts of the case in brief are that the petitioner owns 60 apartments in the multistoried building complex known as Adarsh Gardens situated in Jayanagar, Bangalore. The tariff for the said installations is being charged as per Tariff Schedule LT-2(a). Based on the inspection conducted by the vigilance squad, the respondent No.2 vide his Order, dated 19.12.2003 (Annexure-F), held that the applicable tariff is LT-3 meant for the private guest-houses and demanded the payment of back billing charges. This order was challenged by the petitioner by filing an appeal before the Appellate Authority. The General Manager, by his Order, dated 26.9.2006 (Annexure-G) confirmed the levying of the commercial tariff to the petitioner’s installations in question. The petitioner challenged the orders passed by the original authority and the Appellate Authority by filing W.P.No.8416/2007. This Court by its Order, dated 31.1.2009 (Annexure-H) quashed both the orders and remitted the matter. Pursuant thereto,
