R.Shyamala Devi vs The Executive Engineer Operation ...

Madras High Court|07 February, 2017

JUDGMENT / ORDER

(Delivered by NOOTY.RAMAMOHANA RAO, J) This Appeal is directed against the order passed by the learned single Judge disposing of the writ petition instituted by the appellant herein.
2. When the Writ Petitioner has sought for electricity service connection to be provided at a particular premises, the Assistant Executive Engineer through his communication dated 23.08.2013, refused the request, pointing out that the local Panchayat President has objected for providing electricity service connection at the premises specified by the Writ Petitioner as the land in question belonging to the Panchayat which is set apart as a park. In those circumstances, the learned single Judge has noted that it is open to the Writ Petitioner to provide necessary documentary evidence to establish his right of residence in the premises where he applied for electricity service connection so that the Respondents will be able to examine the same and take appropriate decision thereon.
3. We see no reason why we should interfere with the order of the learned single Judge. When a consumer claims electricity service connection to be provided at a particular premises, he must establish a semblance of right which he has to reside therein.
4. In the instant case, no such right has been demonstrated to exist relating to the possession of the same premises where the writ petitioner sought for electricity service connection as it belongs to the Local Body which is set apart as a park.
5. In these circumstances, no interference is called for in the order passed by the learned single Judge and accordingly, the writ appeal stands dismissed. No costs.
