NO.20023 OF 2002-H ----------------------------------------- JUDGMENT The petitioners have approached this Court, when they were called upon to remove the cable lines drew by them through the poles of the K.S.E.B. Admittedly, the cables were drawn without the permission of the K.S.E.B. Therefore, I find nothing illegal with the action taken by the officials of the K.S.E.B. Accordingly, the Original Petition is dismissed. It is made clear that the K.S.E.B will be entitled to get rent for the periods the petitioners used its posts, on the strength of the interim order of this Court, at the rate applicable from time to time. 8th February, 2007.
