HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI Writ Petition No.20701 of 2011 Date: 19-08-2011 Between K. Shiva Kumar … Petitioner and Northern Power Distribution Company of A.P. Ltd. Warangal rep. By its Chairman and Managing Director & 4 others. … Respondents THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI W.P.No. 20701 of 2011 ORAL ORDER The petitioner who is running a dry cleaning shop in Mulgi bearing No. 2-7-684/2 SC, Narsagoud Street, Nizamabad, filed this Writ Petition questioning the action of the respondents in disconnecting the power supply to the said premises without any notice and without proper enquiry. It is primarily contended by the petitioner that the impugned disconnection without issuing any notice is arbitrary, illegal and in violation of the principles of natural justice. Sri O. Manoher Reddy, the learned Counsel who accepted notice for the respondent Nos. 1 to 5 on instructions submitted that it is a fact that before disconnecting the power supply to the premises in question, no notice was issued to the petitioner. In view of the admitted fact that the petitioner was not given an opportunity to make his representation before disconnecting the power supply, the Writ Petition is disposed of directing the respondents to restore the power supply to the premises in question forthwith. However, this shall not preclude the respondents to take appropriate action following due process of law. No costs. ___________________ 19.8.2011 N.B C.C. in (2) days. BO CHV
