Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Standing Counsel appearing for the A.P.Transco. This Court, while ordering Rule Nisi, directed the respondents to restore the power supply to the shop of the petitioners. As one of the grievances of the petitioners is that the respondents have disconnected the power supply without issuing any notice and without affording any opportunity to them, this Court is of the view that the respondents, if feel that the power supply to the shop of the petitioners shall be disconnected, they may do so only after issuing notice and affording them necessary opportunity. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. _________ 05.07.2006 sh
