IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.13232 of 2005 REKHA SINGH Versus BIHAR STATE ELECTRICITY BOARD & ORS. ----------- 4 4.07.2008 Heard learned counsel for the parties. No counter affidavit has been filed in this matter for the last three years. This Court gets a feeling that the only reason why the electrical connection has not been provided to the petitioner is because the respondent Electricity Board has been ousted from the tenanted property against their will through a process of the Court. Learned counsel for the respondent submits that there is an appeal pending against the eviction order but he also does not assert that there is any kind of stay against the said order. This Court is constrained to record that the respondent Electricity Board is behaving like a common litigant and they are not keeping emotion out of the official work, which they are saddled with. The writ application is disposed of with a direction upon respondent no.3 Executive Engineer, Patna Electric Supply Undertaking, Bankipur Division, Patna, to take steps for granting electrical connection to the petitioner, if the requirements are otherwise fulfilled. This exercise should be completed within three months from the date of production of the copy of this order. Rajeev/ (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J.)
