Thereafter, the High Court via order dated 24-01-2013 had directed the State Government to pay the electricity charges for the electricity consumed by the electricity appliances in the notified Bar Rooms of the District Courts and other Courts situated within the territorial jurisdiction of the Gwalior Bench. Also directed the State Government to pay electricity charges for electricity appliances of the notified Bar Rooms of the MP High Court.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Aggrieved, the State filed an appeal to the Supreme Court, wherein the Court disposed of the SLP in terms of the communication of the State Government vide letter dated 27-05-2013, whereby the State stated that the proposal pertaining to payment of Electricity Bills of the Bar Association has been examined and the State Government has already allotted Rs. 65,59,657\/- to the High Court.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">However, despite the above-mentioned orders the state abruptly disconnected the supply of electricity to two buildings of M.P. High Court Bar Association.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Despite the various representations, letters and replies, the State arbitrarily and illegally disconnected the electricity, the Bar Association filed a writ petition to the High Court, wherein the Court via order dated 28-10-2015 directed the State to restore electricity connection of the Bar Association forthwith.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Thereafter, the State submitted that it wants to seek further instructions in the matter, as to why the amount released by the State Government has only been disbursed to the District Bar Association and not to the High Court Bar Association functioning in the Principal Seat at Jabalpur and the Benches at Indore and Gwalior. Thus, the matter was adjourned for clarification.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Thereafter, the impugned order was passed, leading to the present SLP.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Court&#8217;s order:<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court noted that the impugned order dated 03-05-2024 passed by the High Court has been subjected to a challenge before this Court in an SLP, wherein an interim protection has been granted.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court issued notice and directed the State to maintain the electricity supply of the Bar Association and recovery of electricity bills for the allocated premises till further orders.<\/p>\n<p><!--\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">[<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #632423;\">M.P.
