The original owner of the said property was a defaulter in relation to dues payable to various authorities, including the K.S.E.B. After satisfying the claims of the Government, no amount was available to satisfy the claim of the K.S.E.B. Therefore, the K.S.E.B. contended that the amount due to the Board is a charge on the property and unless the amount is cleared, the application submitted by the petitioner for fresh electricity connection, cannot be granted. Challenging the said stand of the 2nd respondent and praying for a direction to the said respondent to give electricity connection to Door Nos. 551 to 557 of Ward No.7 of Navaikulam grama panchayat, this Writ Petition is filed. The point raised by the petitioner is covered against him by the Full Bench decision of this Court in Suraj V. K.S.E.B. (ILR 2005(3) Kerala 618) Accordingly, the Writ Petition is dismissed. 14.02.2007 K.BALAKRISHNAN NAIR,JUDGE sta 2
