ADDL.R4 BY SRI.C.K KARUNAKARAN.S.C,K.S.E.B THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 04/12/2007,THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: PIUS C. KURIAKOSE, J. ------------------------------- W.P.(C) No. 34623 OF 2007 ----------------------------------- Dated this the 4th day of December, 2007 JUDGMENT There is very stiff opposition to the grant of the prayers in this Writ Petition from the side of the Standing Counsel for the Trichur Corporation. He submits that since the Corporation is not generating electricity, and it is very difficult for the Corporation to supply electricity to the petitioner who belonged to the erstwhile Koorkanchery Panchayat. Even though submissions were addressed forcefully, I am of the view that Ext.P7 has to be followed. Following Ext.P7, there will be a direction in the following terms: The 1st respondent is directed to give electricity connection provisionally to the petitioner and if KSEB approves the same, the connection will be regularised. If approval is not granted by KSEB, to the connection given by the 1st respondent, then KSEB will give connection and simultaneously first respondent will withdraw the connection given provisionally pursuant to this order.
