Basheer, J. ------------------------------------------ W.A No.2010 of 2009 ------------------------------------------ Dated this the 10th day of September, 2009 JUDGMENT S.R.Bannurmath, C.J. Aggrieved by the order of the learned Single Judge dated 30th June, 2009 dismissing W.P.(C) No.18090 of 2009 filed by the appellants herein, the present writ appeal is filed. 2. The appellants have challenged Ext.P6 order of the Additional District Magistrate, Kollam, issued under Section 16 of the Indian Telegraph Act, in respect of the proposal for installation of a transformer. Considering the necessity of improving the situation of low voltage in the area, the second respondent proposed to install a transformer in the premises now objected to by the appellants. The Additional District Magistrate after issuing Ext.P4 notice to all the parties concerned and considering the objections filed by all including the appellants and after holding a personal inspection, as per WA.No.2010 of 2009 - 2 - Ext.P5, found that the location is most suitable for the purpose of installation of transformer. Though a tall claim is made that by erecting a transformer, lives of the old people, children and the devotees would be put to danger, we do not understand as to how by erecting a transformer such a calamity will take place, that too when the location is on the north-western corner and away from the temple precinct. 3. Hence the rejection of the writ petition by the learned Single Judge, in our view, is just and proper which needs no interference. Writ appeal is dismissed. S.R.Bannurmath, Chief Justice A.K. Basheer, Judge vns
