I submit that in the 18th ward there are about 50 consumers, are availing the power supply. I submit that previously the entire village of Pasalapudi including the consumers in 18th ward municipality were being supplied from Ramachandrapuram feeder. Due to policy decision taken for providing separate rural feeders for rural areas, the supply is being given from another rural feeder to Pasalapudi village. I submit that in so far as the 18th ward is concerned, this is only a temporary arrangement and a separate estimate is being prepared for extension of Ramachandrapuram 33/11 KV sub-station supply to the part of the 18th ward of Ramachandrapuram municipality. I submit that the said process of completing the extension of 33/11 KV sub-station to the part of the 18th ward would take at least 3 months time. I submit that the action that has been taken by this respondent is due to administrative and technical reasons.” In view of the above, the writ petition is disposed of with the direction to the respondents to complete the process of extension of 33/11 KV sub-station to the part of 18th ward within a period of three months and restore the petitioners’ service connections to Ramachandrapuram 33/11 KV sub-station.
