There is serious dispute with regard to title and possession of the premises in question. The petitioner has lost the title suit as well as the title appeal. It is not in dispute that the second appeal preferred by the petitioner has been admitted on 18.04.2010 by this Court vide Second Appeal No. 77 of 2008. The electric connection of the petitioner was disconnected basically on the ground that he suppressed about loosing of title suit and the first appeal. This Court vide order dated 29.07.2008 directed the Electricity Department to restore the electric 2 connection of the petitioner. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that he is paying the electricity rent regularly which has been admitted by the learned counsel for the Electricity Department. It is contended by the learned counsel for the respondent no. 5 that restoration of electric connection will be the basis for substantiating the case of the petitioner in the second appeal. The electric connection has been restored only keeping in view of hardship. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that restoration or continuation of the electric connection shall not be used by the petitioner for substantiating his case in the second appeal. Hence, the Electricity Department is expected not to disconnect the electricity connection of the petitioner provided the petitioner pays the rent and abide by the other conditions of the department. The Electricity Department is permitted to review its decision with regard to providing or continuing the electric connection to the petitioner on disposal of the second appeal bearing S.A. No. 77 of 3 2008. With the above observations, this writ application is disposed off. U. K. ( Dinesh Kumar Singh, J)
