THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE V.V.S. RAO FRIDAY, THE 23RD DAY OF DECEMBER, 2005 W.P.No. 25841 of 2005 Between:- K. Uma Maheshwara Rao and another --Petitioners And The Managing Director, H.M.W & S.B., Hyderabad --Respondent THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE V.V.S. RAO W.P.No. 25841 of 2005 :O R D E R: The petitioners are residents of Rock Town Colony, Behind L.B. Nagar Traffic Police Station, L.B. Nagar, Hyderabad. They applied to respondent viz., Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board, Hyderabad (‘the Board’ for brevity) for 15 M.M. Æ water connection for the residents. The same was allegedly sanctioned on 12-05-2005, but respondent did not provide water connection. Hence they filed the writ petition inter alia seeking a direction to the respondent to provide water connection to the petitioners’ premises. On 05-12-2005, learned standing counsel for the Board sought time for getting instructions in the matter. She also filed a counter affidavit on behalf of the respondent. It is stated that as per the procedure, the colony or the residents of the colony are required to bear 30% of the expenditure for laying down pipeline. The estimated expenditure is Rs.75,00,000-00 and the Rock Town Colony is required to pay a sum of Rs.22,50,000-00, but they paid only Rs.18,00,000-00 towards their contribution as a result of which the work could not be taken up. It is also stated that though the Colony, where the petitioners have houses, is included within the jurisdiction of the respondent by reason of orders of the Government in G.O.Ms.No. 186 M.A. & U.D. (Elec.II) Dated 20-04-1999, the work could not be completed for want of balance by the association of the Colony. She also submits that the L.B. Nagar Municipality, where the Colony is situated, was not sanctioned 70% of the contribution. The petitioner has not filed any reply affidavit denying the counter averments. Learned counsel for the petitioners has not placed before this court any material in support of the contention that water supply can be given to the petitioners’ houses in Rock Town Colony from a transmission line, which is passing through another Colony without the consent of the other Colony. Therefore, the petitioners have to await till such time the petitioners’ Colony fulfills the requirement of paying the entire 30% amount towards the estimated cost of laying pipeline in Rock Town Colony. In this writ petition, no relief can be granted. The writ petition is, accordingly, dismissed. No costs. ____________ V.V.S. RAO, J 23-12-2005 pvks/*
