JUDGMENT The second respondent is proposing to draw a line through the property of the petitioner to give electricity connection to the 3rd respondent. Since the petitioner objected, the second respondent has moved the District Magistrate for permission. The matter is under the consideration of the first respondent. Apprehending that the line may be drawn even before serving a copy of the order on the petitioner, this writ petition is filed. 2. The learned Standing Counsel for the K.S.E.B. submitted that so far the District Magistrate has not communicated any order to the K.S.E.B. 3. The writ petition is disposed of directing the first respondent to serve a copy of the order on the petitioner. The second respondent shall take further action to draw the line only after receipt of the order by the petitioner. If there is any delay from the part of the first respondent to serve the copy of the order, the second respondent shall serve a copy of the order received by him from the first respondent to the petitioner, before taking any action. WPC 3814/2007 2 The writ petition is disposed of as above. K.BALAKRISHNAN NAIR, MS JUDGE.
