Mr. V R Dhond i/by M/s. Yasmin Bhansali & Co. for the Petitioner. Mr. A B Ketkar AGP for the Respondent No.1. Mr. G D Utangale i/by Utangale & Co. for the Respondent No.2. CORAM : J N PATEL & C L PANGARKAR, J DATED : 2nd March 2010 P.C. 1. The Petitioners have approached this Court by invoking writ jurisdiction of this Court for seeking directions to the Respondent No.2 to make payment of electricity bills to M/s. Reliance Energy of power consumed under two Meter Nos.L-964540 and L-964496. It is the case of the Petitioners that after they have developed the property and after the conveyance deed was executed by the owners of the properties in favour of the Respondent No.2 i.e. Slum Rehabilitation Authority, it is the responsibility of the Respondent No.2 SRA to discharge the electricity bills. It is submitted that the Petitioners are builders and 2 not the owners of the properties and the properties were developed for rehabilitation of slum dwellers particularly the project affected persons from Sanjay Gandhi National Park. 2. We made specific query to the learned counsel for the Petitioner that in case the payment is not made by any of the person, what will be the consequences. It is submitted that two meters through which the power is supplied would stand disconnected and M/s.Reliance Energy would get liberty to recover their dues from the owners/occupiers. This petition is filed for seeking direction to Respondent No.2 to pay electricity charges, which in our view cannot be entertained in our writ jurisdiction as in case the respondents do not pay electricity bills M/s. Reliance Energy which is supplying the electricity will be at liberty to take steps to recover their energy bills. We therefore dismissed this Petition. (J N Patel, J) (C L Pangarkar, J)
