True copy tga KURIAN JOSEPH J. ---------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) No.3173 of 2004 ---------------------------------------------- Dated 13th June, 2007. J U D G M E N T Petitioner approached this Court aggrieved by the refusal to provide electric connection. Pursuant to the interim order, the connection has already been effected. Since the impugned action is only at the level of the second respondent, I do not think that this Court should go into the various disputed facts regarding the alleged liability. There will be a direction to the Executive Engineer of the Electrical Division to look into the representation filed by the petitioner as evidenced by Ext.P1 series and other representations, and take appropriate action thereon in accordance with law with notice to the petitioner and any other affected party. The fate of the bank guarantee furnished by the petitioner pursuant to the interim order will depend on the action thus taken by the Executive Engineer. The needful shall be done within four months from the date of production of a copy of the judgment. The writ petition is disposed of as above.
