J U D G M E N T
This writ petition has been filed in the year 2007 raising
grievances against Ext.P5 order passed by the first respondent
under section 16(1) of the Telegraph Act, 1885 read with section
51 of the Electricity Act, 2003. As per the said order permission
was granted to draw over head electric line through the pathway
leading to the property of the petitioner for the purpose of
drawing electric lines to the property of respondents 3 and 4.
Evidently, as early as on July 2007, the line was drawn as
proposed. The order dated 5.7.2007 of this Court would reveal
that this Court has granted liberty to the KSEB to charge the line
and subsequently it was energised. At this distance of time
especially in the absence of any patent perverseness or illegality in
the order permitting the second respondent to draw line for the
purpose of granting electric connection to respondents 3 and 4
Ext.P5 order cannot be interfered with. The petitioner has failed
to bring out any reason for interference. Therefore, there is no
merit in this writ petition and accordingly, it is dismissed.
However, this will not stand in the way of the petitioner moving
WPC.No.18395/2010
: 2 :
the authority under section 17 of the Indian Telegraph Act,
1885 in accordance with law.
