The electric line has to be drawn through the property of the 3rd respondent. The 3rd respondent objected to the same. Therefore, the 2nd respondent- Assistant Executive Engineer of the KSEB filed an application before the 1st respondent under Section 16(1) of the Indian Telegraph Act for permission to draw electricity lines through the 3rd respondent's property, which is Ext.P3 in this writ petition. The petitioner seeks a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P3 expeditiously. 2. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, the learned Government Pleader and the learned standing counsel appearing for the Electricity Board. In the nature of the order I propose to pass, I do not think it necessary to issue notice to the 3rd respondent at this juncture. 3. Having heard the parties, I dispose of this writ petition with a direction to the 1st respondent to consider and pass orders on Ext.P3 as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within two months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this judgment after affording an opportunity of being heard to the petitioner and respondents 2 and 3.
