PETITIONERS AND Prohibition and Excise Superintendent, Excise District Kamareddy, Nizamabad District and two others ... RESPONDENTS THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE B. SESHASAYANA REDDY WRIT PETITION No. 14129 OF 2010 ORDER: This writ petition has been filed by the petitioners who are two in number assailing the action of the respondents in disconnecting the power connection for their bore-wells situated at their agricultural lands. The petitioners are owners of agricultural lands admeasuring Ac.1.05 cents and Ac.1.96 cents in Survey Nos. 302/2, 313 and 53 situated at Srungavruksham Village, Thodangi Mandal, East Godavari District. The petitioners claim that they have registered their existing irrigation bore-wells under Section 3 of the Andhra Pradesh Water, Land and Trees Act. The Tahsildar – the 4th respondent issued proceedings dated 22-12-2008 to that effect in favour of the 1st petitioner. Thereupon, the Divisional Engineer (Operations), Eastern Power Distribution Company of AP Limited – the 1st respondent sanctioned power connection to the agricultural wells of the petitioners vide his proceedings dated 23-05-2009 and 06-07-2005. According to the petitioners, the respondents are contemplating to disconnect the service connections provided to their agricultural lands without following due process of law. When the writ petition came up for admission, Sri O. Manohar Reddy, learned Standing Counsel appearing for the respondents takes notice. Heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioners and the learned Standing Counsel appearing on behalf of respondent Nos. 1 to 3. Since the limited grievance of the petitioners is that respondent Nos. 1 to 3 are contemplating to disconnect the service connections provided to their agricultural bore-wells without following due process of law, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition directing respondent Nos. 1 to 3 to follow due process of law in the event of service connections provided to the agricultural lands of the petitioners are required to be disconnected. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No order as to costs. B. SESHASAYANA REDDY, J 21-06-2010 ks
