Counsel for the Petitioner: MR.G.VASANTHA RAYUDU Counsel for the Respondents: MR.M.SREERAMULU REDDY The Court at the stage of admission made the following : ORAL ORDER: Heard both sides. Perused the material placed before me. Petitioner filed the present writ petition aggrieved by the inaction of the respondents in giving service connection to his residential house on the ground that he has to pay certain amounts in respect of a connection, which he has already. It appears that the petitioner constructed a house in his agricultural land and in the same agricultural land there is a factory with service connection No. 465. It further appears that there are some arrears to be paid by the petitioner in respect of that service connection. On that account, the service connection sought for to the dwelling house that was constructed by the petitioner in his agricultural field has been rejected. A representation had already been made in this regard to the authorities concerned. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, without going into the merits of the case as to the validity or otherwise of the demand made by the respondent or the liability of the petitioner while seeking service connection, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the respondent to consider the representation dated 21.1.2004 made by the petitioner as expeditiously as possible. If no such representation is available on record, as on today, the petitioner is at liberty to make a fresh representation to the respondents in that regard, within two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order and the same shall be disposed of by the respondent in another two weeks thereafter. With the above directions, the writ petition is disposed of at the stage of admission. No costs. ------------------------- kvsn 22-03-2005 To 1 Andhra Pradesh Transmission Corporation, Hyderabad (A.P.
