SHRI.P.P.THAJUDEEN, SC THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 06/06/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, J. ----------------------------------- WP(C) No. 16501 of 2007 --------------------------------- Dated, this the 6th day of June, 2007 J U D G M E N T This WP(C) is filed challenging Ext.P2 order of the ADM approving drawl of electric line over petitioner's property. It is clear from ADM's order that out of 34 m. weather proof line, only 15 m. line is passing over petitioner's property. The specific grievance of the petitioner is that the line is passing over her house. Petitioner has 6 cents of land. I do not think it would very difficult to draw the line avoiding petitioner's house. If the length of the line is increased by a few meters, it is not going to matter because it is a weather proof cable. In the circumstances, WP(C) is disposed of directing 1st respondent to draw the line using weather proof cable by avoiding petitioner's house, but line could be drawn over petitioner's property by retaining sufficient clearance from the ground and house.
