Her husband is employed in U.A.E. Petitioner has approached this court seeking a direction to the first respondent not to draw electric line through the petitioner's husband's property to the premises of respondents 2 and 3. According to the petitioner, there are civil suits pending between respondents 2 and 3 and the husband of the petitioner and it is while so that respondents 2 and 3 filed application for drawing electric line through the disputed alleged pathway before the first respondent. Petitioner filed Ext.P5 objection as her husband is abroad and unable to come over. 2. Learned Standing Counsel for the department sought instructions. He submits that the matter is being referred to the Magistrate under Section 16 of the Indian Telegraph Act and the objections will be considered. In the light of this stand, the writ petition is disposed of recording the submission of the learned Standing Counsel that the matter is being referred for being dealt with under Section 16 of the Indian Telegraph Act. It is certainly open to the party to raise all the objections before the WPC.15618/2008. 2 Magistrate and it goes without saying that till permission is granted under Section 16, no line will be drawn across the property in question.
