JUSTICE GOPAL KRISHAN VYAS ______________________________________ Mr. Deepak Bora for the petitioner. Mr. Kuldeep Mathur for the respondent(s). Mr. Kuldeep Mathur is directed to accept notice on behalf of the respondents. The controversy involved in this case is squarely covered by the judgment of this Court in S.B. Civil Misc.

The contention of the petitioner is that the demand notice was issued on 20.06.2006 in the name of the petitioner for releasing the electricity connection. Contention of the petitioner is that although electricity connection was released but, somehow, the petitioner could not deposit the amount in time; but, later on, as per the petitioner, two other similarly situated persons Ram Ratan Jat and Luna Ram, both residents of Napasar, were granted the benefit of extension of time in compliance of the directions of the Chief Minister of 2 the State conveyed to the Chairman, Jodhpur Vidyut Vitaran Nigam Ltd. and electricity connection was released in favour of both of them. The main contention of the petitioner is that similarly situated persons were granted relief of extension of time, then, the same was to be made available to the petitioner also but it has not been done so. Therefore, the respondents may be directed to release the electricity connection in favour of the petitioner in pursuance of the demand so raised in its favour vide demand notice Annex.-1 dated 20.06.2006 because he is ready to pay the entire amount of demand. In view of the aforesaid, this writ petition is allowed.
