PLEADER K.C.SANTHOSH KUMAR THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 14/12/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN, J. ================== W.P.(C).No. 35834 of 2009 ================== Dated this the 14th day of December, 2009 J U D G M E N T The petitioner is the owner of a property, through which, the 2nd respondent proposes to draw electricity line for giving electricity connection to the 3rd respondent. Since the petitioner objected to the same, the 2nd respondent has approached the 1st respondent, before whom proceedings are pending. The petitioner now apprehends that although the petitioner has filed detailed objections pointing out an alternate route, the 1st respondent is likely to pass orders in favour of respondents 2 and 3 without giving the petitioner an opportunity of being heard. The learned Government Pleader, on instructions, submits that no order would be passed by the 1st respondent without issuing a notice to the petitioner fixing a date for hearing and without hearing the petitioner on that date. This is recorded and the writ petition is closed. Sd/- sdk+ S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE ///True copy/// P.A. to Judge 2
