THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU WRIT PETITION No.18541 of 2008 ORDER: According to the petitioner, electricity was supplied to his premises bearing D.No.59/28 situated at Kamsal Street, Rayachoti, Kadapa District, through Service Connection No.19497. While so, without notice to him, the respondents disconnected power supply to his premise. When he enquired, he was informed that he failed to pay the electricity charges to a tune of Rs.4,351/- for the month of July, 2008, and then he immediately paid the said amount, but till date the respondents have not restored power supply to his premises, despite there being no amounts payable by him to the respondent Company. Hence, this writ petition is filed seeking appropriate directions. There is no necessity of going into all the details. At paragraph 3 of the counter affidavit filed by the respondents, it is stated as under: “Before adverting to various allegations made in the affidavit filed in support of the writ petition it is respectfully submitted that the petitioner is a consumer of the respondent company bearing S.C.No.19497. To the same premises, there is another connection bearing S.C.No.4418 standing in the name of the father of the petitioner and he died and the petitioner who is the son is in possession of the premises. I submit that the front side portion of the premises is having service connection No.19497 and the backside portion of the premises is having service connection No.4418. In so far as service connection No. 19497 there were arrears of Rs.4351 from 1/2006 to 7/2008. As the consumer has defaulted in payment of the amount the service was disconnected in the month of July 2008. The petitioner has paid the amount of Rs.4400/- on 12.8.2008 and immediately the power supply for service 19497 was restored on 13.8.2008 itself. I submit that in so far as service No. SC 4418 which is in the same premises, there are outstanding amount of Rs.1,02,511/- and the power supply has been disconnected long back and the petitioner is unauthorizedly using the power supply from S.C. 19497 for even the back portion. I submit that apprehending that the department would take action for unauthorized use of electricity the present writ petition has been filed.” Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing counsel appearing for the respondent. Having regard to the submissions made by the learned counsel on either side and also the stand taken by the respondents in their counter affidavit that the petitioner has paid an amount of Rs.4,400/- on 12.08.2008 and immediately the power supply for service connection No.19497 was restored on 13.08.2008 itself, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with the following directions: “The respondents are directed not to disconnect power supply to S.C.No.19497, which stands in the name of the petitioner. However, it is made clear that if there are any dues in respect of S.C.No.4418, which is on the back side portion of the premises of the petitioner, it is always open for the respondents to take appropriate action, as per law, in respect of the said S.C.No.4418. With the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ______________ C.V.RAMULU, J 26.10.2010 v v
