THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.7410 of 2007 Date: 19.04.2007 Between: Dr. B.Chandra Sekhar. ….Petitioner And The A.P. Eastern Power Distribution Corporation Limited and others. ….Respondents THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.7410 of 2007 O R D E R: The grievance of the petitioner is that the respondents are not sanctioning the fresh power supply connection to him, on the ground that Writ Petition No.8568 of 2006 filed in relation to another service connection is pending before this Court. At the stage of admission, the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents obtained instructions and states that the application said to have been filed by the petitioner on 26.07.2006 was not received by the respondents at all. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. The mere pendency of a writ petition, in relation to another service connection, cannot be treated as a ground, to refuse sanction of another service connection, if the petitioner is otherwise entitled to it. While the petitioner asserts that he made an application on 26.07.2006, the respondents deny the receipt of the same. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, the writ petition is disposed of, directing that it shall be open to the petitioner to make a fresh application for sanction of service connection and on receipt of the same, the respondents shall process it, without any reference to the pendency of W.P.No.8568 of 2006. There shall be no order as to costs. _________ 19.04.2007 JSU
