The Divisional Engineer, A.P. Eastern Power Distribution Company Ltd., 2. The Asst. Divisional Engineer, A.P. Eastern Power Distribution Company Ltd., .....RESPONDENTS The Court made the following: ORDER: Challenging the action of the respondents in not taking any steps for transferring the Service Connection No.901 of agricultural land situated in R.S.No.2 of Yernagudem village, Devarapalli Mandal, West Godavari District in favour of the petitioner, the present writ petition has been filed. The grievance of the petitioner is that by virtue of settlement deed dated 16.02.2004, he has been in possession and enjoyment of the land in an extent of Ac.15.00cents in R.S.No.2 of Yernagudem village, Devarapalli Mandal in which the Service Connection No.901 is existed. Even though he made an application on 5.8.2005 to the first respondent seeking transfer of the said service connection in his name, the respondents has not so far taken any steps for transferring the service connection. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned standing counsel for the respondents. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case and having heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, I am of the considered view that it is only for the respondents to take appropriate steps for transferring the Service Connection No.901 in favour of the petitioner. Therefore, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I deem it appropriate to direct the respondents to take necessary steps on the application dated 5.8.2005 made by the petitioner within a period of one week from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Subject to the above observation, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. _____________ (K.C. BHANU, J) Date: 06.10.2005 Ksn
