JOSEPH, J. -------------------------------------- W.P.C. NO. 2003 OF 2009 L -------------------------------------- Dated this the 3rd February, 2009 JUDGMENT Complaint of the petitioner is regarding the putting up of a stay wire in the petitioner's property. It is stated that it is done without complying with the procedures under the Indian Telegraph Act. It is stated that the fourth respondent erected the transformer and stay wire without even considering the alternate site available for erecting the transformer. 2. I heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, learned Government Pleader and the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the Electricity Board. Learned counsel drew my attention to the Works of Licensee Rules, 2006. I feel that a decision can be ordered to be taken on Ext.P3. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of directing the second respondent to consider Ext.P3 and take appropriate action such as is warranted WPC.2003/09 L 2 in law and on facts, within six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this Judgment.
