Nos.23522, 23524 & 23596 of 2009 --------------------------------- Dated, this the 18th day of August, 2009 J U D G M E N T In these writ petitions, the petitioners submit that they are allottees of industrial plots in the Industrial Development Area at Kanjikode, Palakkad District. It is stated that on allotment of the plots as above, they applied for power supply. But, however, their applications are not considered for the reason that the previous allottees of those plots, had committed default in paying the dues, and that the petitioners have to clear the same. 2. Having regard to the provisions contained under Regulation 12 of the Supply Code, such insistence is incorrect and illegal. 3. Therefore, these writ petitions are disposed of directing that the dues of the previous allottees shall not be a reason for the respondents to deny consideration of the applications made by the petitioners for power supply to their premises, and that orders ignoring such default shall be passed on the applications. This shall WP(C) Nos.23522, 23524 & 23596 of 2009 -2- be done on the production of a copy of this judgment. 4. The petitioners shall produce a copy of this judgment before the 3rd respondent for compliance. These writ petitions are disposed of as above. (ANTONY DOMINIC, JUDGE) jg
