JUDGMENT The petitioner states that he is the General Convener of a Road Development Committee. He raises certain objections to the drawal of electric line through a particular road. The petitioner states that the line, if drawn as per the alignment now proposed, would lead to inconvenience for the users of the road. Obviously, this is a case where objections have been raised to the drawal of the line. This results in obstruction which would call for the KSEB authorities to move the District Magistrate for appropriate action in terms of the Electricity Act. In view of the objections of the petitioner, it is ordered that the line will be drawn only in terms of the order that may be issued by the District Magistrate on proper WPC26533/09 -: 2 :- application by the KSEB authorities. The writ petition is ordered accordingly. THOTTATHIL B.RADHAKRISHNAN, JUDGE. Sha/131009
