No.13191 of 2009 --------------------------------- Dated, this the 17th day of July, 2009 J U D G M E N T The writ petition is filed on the premise that an electric line to the premises of the 3rd respondent is proposed to be drawn through the property of the petitioner, ignoring the objections raised and without obtaining orders of the District Magistrate as required under Section 16 of the Indian Telegraph Act. 2. The 3rd respondent has today produced before me a copy of an order dated 29/04/2009 passed by the Additional District Magistrate, Alappuzha bearing No.K.Dis.N2.63438/2008 and directing that the line be drawn to the premises of the 3rd respondent as proposed. 3. In view of this, it is evident that the basis of which the writ petition is filed is incorrect. It is also disclosed that the line has already been drawn, but not energised. Now that order has been passed by the Additional District Magistrate as stated above, the writ petition is only to be dismissed and I do so. It is made clear that it will be open to respondents 1 & 2 to energise the line. (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) jg
