J U D G M E N T The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that despite satisfying the requirements, the petitioner is yet to get electricity connection and the proceedings are being dragged at the instance of the concerned respondents due to one or other reason. The learned counsel further submits that the issue has already been brought to the notice of the District Collector by filing Ext.P4 revision petition and that the petitioner will be satisfied, if the same is directed to be considered and finalized without any further delay. 2. Heard the learned standing counsel appearing for the Board, as well as the learned Government Pleader appearing for the first and second respondents besides the contesting party. Obviously, Ext.P4 petition filed by the petitioner was in October2007 and about 3 ½ years have already passed. There is absolutely no reason for delaying the matter any further. 3. In the above circumstances, the first respondent is directed to consider and pass appropriate orders on Ext.P4 after W.P(C) No. 30060 of 2008-C 2 hearing the parties concerned, which shall be finalized within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The respondent Board shall take further steps to give effect to the orders to be passed by the first respondent as above, within a further period of two weeks thereafter. The Writ Petition is disposed of. Sd/- P.R.RAMACHANDRA MENON JUDGE //True Copy// P.A to Judge ab W.P(C) No. 30060 of 2008-C 3
