PETITIONER AND 1 The Superintendent Engineer, Distribution Sub Division, A.P.E.P.D.C.,Ltd., Visakapatnam and 7 others. .....RESPONDENTS THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA WRIT PETITION No.21082 of 2009 ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a Writ of Mandamus declaring the impugned action of respondents 2 to 6 in insisting for registered sale deed for grant of power connection to the petitioner flat, as illegal and arbitrary and consequently sought for a direction to the officials respondents 2 to 6 to grant power connection to the petitioner premises i.e. Flat No.300, D.No.38-37-80/3, Sree Enclave, Bhaskara Gardens, Marripalem, Visakhapatnam forthwith. The case of the petitioner is that she entered into development agreement dated 07.01.2003 for construction of a group housing building consisting of separate residential tenements with ownership rights on share basis with the wives of respondents 7 and 8 respectively. The petitioner in the names of respondents 7 and 8 respectively, obtained permission for construction of Ground + 2 floors in Ward No.42, T.S.No.101/1, Visakhapatnam and accordingly she constructed group housing complex consisting of 10 flats by duly taking approval in the name of her owners from the Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation. It is stated that the 7th respondent executed a registered special power of attorney dated 04.04.2006 in the name of his father, Sri B.Venkata Rao, giving power to execute registered sale deed in respect of flat No.300 in favour of the petitioner. However, the respondents 7 and 8 failed to execute the registered sale deed in favour of the petitioner. It is further stated that the petitioner approached the official respondents 2 to 6, with all requisite documents, and requested for grant of power connection to the said flat, but the official respondents refused the same on the ground that the petitioner has not produced the registered sale deed in respect of the said flat. The grievance of the petitioner is that even though she filed an application, on 18.05.2009, before the official respondents 2 to 6 for grant of power connection to her premises, the authorities have not passed any order so far. Having regard to the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case, this Court is of the view that this writ petition can be disposed of without going into the other aspects as canvassed by the learned Counsel for the petitioner. The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of with a direction to respondents 2 to 6 to consider the application of the petitioner dated 18.05.2009 and pass necessary orders thereon as expeditiously as possible. No costs. _____________________________ (GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA, J) 05-10-2009 Gsn.
