NO. 19808 OF 2007 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 27th day of June, 2007 JUDGMENT Petitioner has approached this Court apprehending disconnection of electric supply by the KSEB on the ground that ownership certificate issued to the petitioner's building by the Panchayat based on which electric connection was given is no longer in force. According to the petitioner, ownership certificate issued to the petitioner by the Panchayat is not cancelled and all what the Panchayat has done is to issue another certificate to a set of persons without including petitioner which does not mean that petitioner ceased to be owner of the building where he is residing. In the circumstances, W.P. is disposed of directing the KSEB to retain electric connection to the petitioner's building as long as petitioner has the house there. If the Panchayat takes over or demolishes the house of the petitioner through any legal process, it is for the KSEB to disconnect and dismantle the electric connection. Issue photocopy tomorrow itself. (C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR) Judge 2
