The power supply of that unit was blocked in 1995. Owing to labour dispute he could not run the unit for some time. Thereafter, he has been repeatedly asking for restoration of power supply. So far it has not been done. Hence, this writ petition. 2. The learned Standing Counsel for the K.S.E.B. has filed a statement in which it is stated that the power supply was dismantled as early as in 1995. So, the petitioner has to submit a fresh application for connection. Once the connection is dismantled, there is no question of any reconnection. 3. Heard. The stand taken by the respondents is in accordance with the Regulations governing power supply. Therefore, I find nothing illegal. But, if the petitioner submits a fresh application for power supply, the same shall be processed as expeditiously as possible. The writ petition is disposed of as above. K.BALAKRISHNAN NAIR,JUDGE. MS
