THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA Writ Petition No. 721 of 2008 Date: 29.01.2008 Between: Katam Venkataramana Reddy. ..... PETITIONER AND The APCPDCL, rep. by its Managing Director, Goutham Nagar, Malkajgiri, Secunderabad and another. .....RESPONDENTS THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA Writ Petition No. 721 of 2008 Order: The main grievance of the petitioner in this writ petition is that with the connivance of the Managing Director of the 1st respondent-APCPDCL, the 2nd respondent-Owners Association has disconnected the power supply to his flat bearing No.G-7, B-Block, Green Gold Apartments, Santosh Nagar, Malkajgiri, Secunderabad, with consumer No.280616901, on the ground that he made some internal alterations. Hence, he filed the present writ petition seeking to direct the 1st respondent-APCPDCL to restore power supply to his flat and to take proper action against the 2nd respondent-Owners Association for illegally and unauthorisedly disconnecting the electricity connection given to his flat by the 1st respondent-APCPDCL. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the 1st respondent-APCPDCL. Though the petitioner contends that with the connivance of the Managing Director of the 1st respondent-APCPDCL, the 2nd respondent-Owners Association has disconnected the power supply to his flat, the fact remains, the petitioner has not substantiated as to how the Managing Director of the 1st respondent-APCPDCL is concerned with the activity of the 2nd respondent-Owners Association in disconnecting power supply to his flat. As can be seen from the pleadings, the main grievance of the petitioner is against the action of the 2nd respondent-Association in disconnecting power supply to his flat. Since the petitioner is seeking relief against the 2nd respondent-Association, which is a private party, the writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India is not maintainable. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed. However, the petitioner is at liberty to avail the remedies available to him under law, as against the action of the 2nd respondent-Owners Association in disconnecting power supply to his flat. No costs. ___________________ N.V. RAMANA, J. Date: 29.01.2008 Nsr
