THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA WRIT PETITION No. 27651 OF 2010 Dated: 10-11-2010 Between: S. Ramachandra Rao ... PETITIONER AND The Superintending Engineer, APSPDCL, Guntur and two others ... RESPONDENTS THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA WRIT PETITION No. 27651 OF 2010 ORDER: The main grievance of the petitioner in this writ petition is that the respondents have disconnected power supply to his S.C No.1998 in House bearing No. 16/564, near Gangamma Temple, Piduguralla, Guntur without notice even though he has not violated any of the conditions of the agreement. The petitioner submits that he is a retired employee aged about 83 years and because of the disconnection of power supply, he is put to hardship. Today, on instructions, the learned Standing Counsel appearing for the respondents submits that in the inspection conducted earlier it was found that the petitioner has committed theft of electricity for which penalty was imposed and the petitioner has already paid the same. But, when the authorities intended to replace the meter, the petitioner has objected for the same and, therefore, his service connection has been disconnected. Yesterday, when the matter was taken up, this Court directed the petitioner to file an affidavit stating that he would allow the respondents to replace the meter. Today, the learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has no objection for the changing of the meter. In view of the said submission, the respondents are directed to change the meter and restore power supply to the petitioner subject to payment of usual costs. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. N.V. RAMANA, J 10-11-2010 ks Note: Furnish copy by tomorrow. B/O ks
