Respondents. ----------- For the petitioner : Mr.Vinay Mistry, Advocate For the Board : Mr.Prakash Kumar Advocate ------- 5. 06.7.2011. Heard learned counsel appearing on behalf of the parties. The writ petition was filed for a direction to the respondent authorities of the Bihar State Electricity Board, hereinafter referred to as ‘Board’, to provide commercial electricity connection to the petitioner in his premises at Virindavan Kunj Apartment, Shop No.1, Ground Floor, Exhibition Road, Patna constructed over Plot No.702, Holding No.413 (old), 1488 (new), Ward No.2 (old) 28 (new), Circle No.6 for supply 2 of electricity. By an interim order dated 13.4.2010, the petitioner has been provided with electric connection and he is making payment of the electrical energy charges. The shop in question was rented to the present petitioner by the predecessor in interest in the property in question who subsequently sold his property in favour of the intervenor nos.1 and 2. The failure on the part of the original landlord and his successor in interest in getting the petitioner evicted from the shop premises, led to withdrawal of the electric connection on the request made by the original land lord. It is not in dispute that the successor in interest has since filed an eviction suit in the Civil Court, Patna giving rise to Title (Eviction) Suit No.11 of 2010 seeking eviction of the petitioner from the premises in question. The matter is pending before the Civil Court, Patna. That being the position and taking into consideration the fact that the petitioner has indeed been provided with the electrical connection under the orders of this court, noting survives in this petition and the writ 3 petition is disposed of with the observation that the electrical connection provided to the petitioner would be subject to the final outcome of the civil suit and shall be abide by the final decision in the suit. It goes without saying that the electrical connection would continue so long the petitioner continues to pay the electricity bills and if the petitioner defaults in payment of the charges of the electrical energy, the Board would be at liberty to take recourse to the remedy provided under the Electricity Act, 2003. ahk (Jyoti Saran, J.)
