THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 17/10/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: K. M. JOSEPH, J. -------------------------------------- W.P.C. NO. 29357 OF 2008 T -------------------------------------- Dated this the 17th October, 2008 JUDGMENT Petitioner seeks a direction to the respondents to consider Ext.P2 application and regularise the cables drawn by the petitioner within such time as may be fixed by this Court. According to petitioner, petitioner had made an application for sanction before the second respondent for regularising the cables drawn through 130 electric posts and the second respondent had directed inspection and the Sub Engineer, Peruva had filed a Report on 27.9.2008 recommending sanction for regularisation. But, the petitioner was told that since years back another Cable TV Network has been granted sanction to the said poles and no cables had been drawn so far, petitioner's application cannot be considered. Learned standing counsel appearing for the respondent Electricity Board got instructions. He submits that actually sanction has been given to M/s.Asianet Communications for drawing cables over the poles in question WPC.29357/08 T 2 by the decision dated 2.6.2007. M/s. Asianet Communications is also not a party in this Writ Petition. In such circumstances, without prejudice to the right of the petitioner to challenge the said decision, if he is so advised, this Writ Petition is disposed of. A copy of the decision rejecting the application of the petitioner will be communicated to him within two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this Judgment. Sd/= K. M.
