IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD HON’BLE Mr. JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY Writ Petition No.6786 of 2006 Dated: October 9, 2007 Between: J.P. Jyothi, W/o. Koteswara Rao, Female, Hindu, age: 57 years, Occ: Properties, R/o. Kotturu (V), H/o. Velpucherla (V) Musunuru (M), Krishna District. … Petitioner And Eastern Power Distribution Co. of A.P. Ltd., Rep. by its Superintending Engineer, Operation, Machilipatnam, Krishna District, and others. … Respondents Order: This writ petition has been filed seeking Mandamus to declare the action of respondents in insisting the petitioner to shift her agricultural service connection from single phase to multiphase as illegal and arbitrary. In the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition, it is stated that petitioner is an agriculturist and owns land in S.No.150/2A of Velpucherla village, Krishna District. The case of the petitioner is that she dug a bore- well and installed a motor for drawing water. For this purpose, she obtained agricultural service connection from the respondents on single phase. Her grievance is that though there is no requirement of converting the single phase into multiphase, respondents are orally insisting her to purchase multiphase motor as they intend to convert the connection from single phase to multiphase. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and Standing Counsel appearing for the respondents. Respondents have filed counter affidavit stating that petitioner has not been insisted to shift from single-phase agricultural service connection to multiphase service connection. The allegation of the petitioner that respondents have asked her orally to alter the service connection has been denied by the respondents in their counter affidavit. In the circumstances, the writ petition is disposed of placing on record the averment of the respondents in the counter affidavit to the effect that they have not insisted the petitioner to alter her service connection. No order as to costs. __________________________ JUSTICE R. SUBHASH REDDY. October 9, 2007 MRR
