IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE, ANDHRA PRADESH AT HYDERABAD (Special Original Jurisdiction) FRIDAY, THE SIXTEENTH DAY OF DECEMBER TWO THOUSAND AND FIVE PRESENT THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE V.ESWARAIAH WRIT PETITION No. 26850 of 2005 Between: Iragaboyina Venikatasubbaiah ..... PETITIONER AND The Assistant Divisional Engineer, A.P.S.P.D.C.Ltd., Rly.Kodur, Cuddapah District and another .....RESPONDENTS ORDER: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned standing counsel appearing for the respondents. Though the petitioner seeks to issue a Writ of Mandamus, declaring the action of the respondents in disconnecting the power supply for H.S.C.No.6229 for the house bearing Dr.No.7-12, Railway, Kodur Post and Mandal, Cuddapah District as illegal and arbitrary, I am not inclined to hold that the action of the respondents in disconnecting the power supply to the said premises as illegal and arbitrary, as admittedly the said connection stands in the name of one Vadavasi Venkata Subbaiah. It is stated that the petitioner is the owner of the said house, and as at the instance of Vadavasi Venkata Subbaiah, the power connection was disconnected, a fresh application has been made in the name of his wife on 21.08.2005, along with a demand draft of Rs.1,000/-(Rupees one thousand only) for necessary charges, but the said application has not been considered and disposed of by the respondents so far. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, the respondents are directed to consider and dispose of the application dated 21.08.2005, filed in the name of the wife of the petitioner, for fresh power supply connection, after collecting necessary charges, in accordance with law, within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. With the above observations, the Writ Petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ________________ V.ESWARAIAH,J Dated: 16.12.2005 Dsr
