JUDGMENT Petitioner claims that he is below the poverty line and is entitled to priority in the matter of electricity connection. His claim has been rejected by Ext.P5. Against that decision of the Assistant Executive Engineer, the petitioner can avail a remedy before the Consumer Grievances Redressal Forum, which is better equipped with the technical knowhow and the priorities fixed by the policy of the Government in the Board to grant electricity connection. Writ petition is hence dismissed without prejudice to the right of the petitioner to move the CGRF, if so advised. Thottathil B.Radhakrishnan, Judge. sl.
