THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Contempt Case No.774 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioners are residents of Allwyn Colony, Kukatpally. They filed W.P.No.8507 of 2010, stating that the Deen Dayal Welfare Association, the 3rd respondent herein, which received bulk supply of water from respondents 1 and 2, was supplying water to the residents of the colony, as well as the petitioners; has abruptly stopped the same. While issuing notice before admission, this Court passed an order on 16-04-2010, directing the 3rd respondent to supply water to the petitioners, in accordance with the existing terms, provided there are no arrears of water bill, payable from the petitioners. This Contempt Case is filed alleging that respondents have not implemented the directions issued by this Court. The 3rd respondent filed a detailed counter-affidavit. It is stated that the petitioners are not members of the Association, and they have drawn water unauthorisedly and collusion of some of the employees of the association, for some time. According to it, unauthorized connections were removed several years ago, and even when the petitioners drew water, they did not pay any bills. Heard Sri P. Vishnuvardhan Reddy, learned counsel for the petitioners and Sri A. Samir Kumar Reddy, learned counsel for the contesting respondent. The interim order passed by this Court was on the assumption that the petitioners had valid water connections, and that the supply of the water was discontinued, on account of non-payment of bills. Now it emerges that the petitioners were not extended the regular water connections at any point of time. Though the petitioners made an endeavour to point out that there are disputes in different sections of the Association, they are not able to place before this Court, any proceedings, through which, the supply was extended. Even now, the petitioners can approach the Association with applications, for extension of water supply. If the petitioners are members of the Association, there is no reason to believe that the 3rd respondent would discriminate them. Hence, the Contempt Case is closed, leaving it open to the petitioners to approach the 3rd respondent with proper application, for provision of water connections. If the petitioners are members, and they are otherwise entitled to, the applications shall be considered on their own merits, at the earliest. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dt.27-07-2010. KO
