According to the petitioner, there are alternate routes. The prayer is to prohibit the respondents from drawing electric line through ABC in Ext.P1 in order to give power connection to the house of the 1st respondent. The petitioner also seeks a direction to the respondents to give electric connection to the house of the 1st respondent after complying with the legal formalities and if they decide to give connection, to do the same drawing line through the alternate routes suggested by the petitioner. 2. I heard learned counsel for the petitioner Sri. C.Ragavan, learned Government Pleader and learned standing counsel for the Board. Learned standing counsel and learned Government Pleader would submit that the matter has been referred to the concerned Magistrate and the matter is being WPC.21/09 : 2 : considered by him. This is a dispute which is to be resolved by the ADM. Accordingly, writ petition is disposed of directing that unless permission is granted by the ADM for drawing line to give connection to the 1st respondent, the line shall not be drawn over the property of the petitioner. It is for the petitioner to raise all his contentions before the ADM. Sd/- (K.M.JOSEPH, JUDGE) aks // TRUE COPY // P.A. TO JUDGE
