TRUE COPY PA TO JUDGE C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, J. .................................................................... W.P.(C) No.32255 of 2007 .................................................................... Dated this the 30th day of November, 2007. JUDGMENT The W.P. is filed challenging electric connection given to the 4th respondent on the ground that the line passes through the property of the petitioners. Standing Counsel for KSEB produced a sketch which shows the houses of two petitioners and of the beneficiary. It is seen from the sketch that the connection is given to 4th respondent through a weatherproof line from a post standing on the road side. According to the petitioners, the road is a private road belonging to the petitioners' family and it leads to a temple. However, the sketch shows that the road serves several people and some of them do not belong to petitioners' community as is evident from their names. Therefore, the road is obviously used by large number of public and I see no justification for petitioners' objection against giving connection to the beneficiary from the post standing on the road. I find petitioners have no grievance and obviously the W.P. is filed without any bonafides. The W.P. is therefore dismissed as devoid of any merit. C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR Judge pms
