PETITIONER(S) AND Northern Power Distribution Company Limited, rep. by its Managing Director, Hyderabad and two others. .....RESPONDENT(S) THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA WRIT PETITION NO : 18717 of 2009 ORDER : The petitioner, in a family partition, got certain properties viz., Mathura Oil Industries and Udayagiri Oil Industries, Adilabad, with service connection Nos.13331 and 6775 respectively, and on an application given by him, the respondent-authorities changed the name of his properties as Krishna Agrotech. Similarly, when he purchased Shanker Ginning Factory and Sunita Industries, the respondent-authorities changed the name of Shanker Ginning factory as Krishna Agrotech with service connection No.12764. Insofar as Sunita Industries is concerned, the respondent- authorities have not passed orders changing the name. The petitioner states that as the power of these four industries from LT category to HT category is permissible as per the Regulations issued by the department from time to time, he made representation, dated 13-08-2008 requesting the 2nd respondent-Divisional Engineer to transfer the name of Sunita Industries as Krishna Agrotech and also permit him to have 1 HT connection by clubbing all the four low tension connections. But it is his grievance that the 2nd respondent has not passed any orders thereon. Hence, he filed the present writ petition seeking appropriate orders. 2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned standing counsel for A.P. Transco, appearing for the respondent-authorities and perused the material placed on record. 3. Having considered the averments made in the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition and having regard to the fact that the representation dated 13-08-2008 said to have been filed by the petitioner is pending consideration before the 2nd respondent, I am inclined to dispose of the writ petition with the following directions. 4. The 2nd respondent-Divisional Engineer, NPDCL, Adilabad, is directed to consider the representation dated 13-08-2008, said to have been filed by the petitioner, and pass appropriate orders thereon, in accordance with the Regulations which are in force, within a period of six weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. 5. With the aforesaid directions, the writ petition is disposed of, at the stage of admission. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________ October 27, 2009 kvr
