For the Respondents : Mr. Trilok Jamwal, Advocate. Justice Kurian Joseph, C.J. (Oral): Petitioner has approached this Court claiming compensation on account of the injuries suffered by him. According to the petitioner, the injuries by electric shock are only on account of negligence on part of the respondents in not properly maintaining the transmission-cum-distribution system. Having gone through the records, we find that it is a case for the petitioner to approach the Civil Court by way of ordinary remedy and we do not find any extraordinary reason for invoking our extraordinary writ jurisdiction. Therefore, without prejudice and with liberty to the petitioner to approach appropriate forum, this writ petition is dismissed making it clear that the time taken by the petitioner before this Court in the - 2 - writ petition will stand excluded in counting the period of limitation. The pending application(s), if any, also stands disposed of. (Justice Kurian Joseph), Chief Justice. (Justice Rajiv Sharma), Judge. June 24, 2010. (sck).
