Dated this the 1st day of January, 2009
J U D G M E N T
Petitioner has approached this court feeling aggrieved
by the move to give electric connection to the house of the 1st
respondent i.e., line ABC in Ext.P1. According to the petitioner,
there are alternate routes. The prayer is to prohibit the
respondents from drawing electric line through ABC in Ext.P1 in
order to give power connection to the house of the 1st respondent.
The petitioner also seeks a direction to the respondents to give
electric connection to the house of the 1st respondent after
complying with the legal formalities and if they decide to give
connection, to do the same drawing line through the alternate
routes suggested by the petitioner.
2. I heard learned counsel for the petitioner Sri.
C.Ragavan, learned Government Pleader and learned standing
counsel for the Board. Learned standing counsel and learned
Government Pleader would submit that the matter has been
referred to the concerned Magistrate and the matter is being
WPC.21/09
: 2 :
considered by him. This is a dispute which is to be resolved by
the ADM.
Accordingly, writ petition is disposed of directing that unless
permission is granted by the ADM for drawing line to give
connection to the 1st respondent, the line shall not be drawn over
the property of the petitioner. It is for the petitioner to raise all his
contentions before the ADM.
