THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU WRIT PETITION No.20942 of 2008 ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking a Mandamus declaring the action of the respondents 1 to 3 in disconnecting power supply to Service Connection Nos.1057, 373, 786, 910, 986, 987, 334, 1030, 810 and 241 situated at Chinanindrakolanu village, Nidamarru Mandal, West Godavari District, belonging to the petitioners, without any power or authority or any manner of right and without any notice or opportunity of hearing, as illegal, arbitrary, violative of Principles of natural justice and unconstitutional, and consequently direct the respondents to restore the power supply to the said service connections forthwith. There is no necessity of going into all the details. Learned counsel appearing for the respondents fairly conceded that on the basis of the instructions of the Collector, the respondents resorted to disconnect power supply to the service connections of the petitioners without any notice to them. Since the respondents have admitted that without issuing any notice to the petitioners, the power supply to the premises of the petitioners was disconnected, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition declaring the impugned action of the respondents in disconnecting power supply as illegal and arbitrary, and that the petitioners are entitled to the power supply as long as the same is in accordance with law. However, this will not preclude the respondent authorities from taking any appropriate steps, as per law, against the petitioners, after issuing notice to them and hearing them in person. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ____________ C.V.RAMULU,J 28.10.2010 v v
