By the impugned communication, respondent No.4 refused to release a new service connection to the petitioner’s premises on the ground that a sum of Rs.2,607/- is due as arrears in respect of service connection bearing No.E1003925 relating to the premises in question and that unless those arrears are cleared, no new service connection can be released. At the hearing, Smt.S.V.Indira, learned counsel for the petitioner, submitted that after filing of the writ petition, her client approached respondent No.4 with a demand draft for Rs.2,607/- and that he refused to receive the same. Since the only reason for rejection of the petitioner’s application for new service connection is the arrears of Rs.2,607/- being due in relation to the service connection pertaining to the premises in question, respondent No.4 is bound to release the power supply, if those arrears are paid, subject to the petitioner complying with all other statutory requirements. Since the petitioner is prepared to pay the arrears, respondent No.4 is directed to receive the demand draft as and when presented by the petitioner, process his application and release the power supply, subject to his complying with the terms and conditions governing power supply. Subject to the above, the writ petition is disposed of. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, W.P.M.P.No.40893 of 2010 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. (C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J) Date: 17.02.2011 VGB
