J U D G M E N T The only grievance projected in this Writ Petition is that the complaint preferred by the petitioner before the concerned Additional District Magistrate against the drawl of the electric line by the second respondent is left in the cold storage, without being attended to and that the second respondent is simply dancing to the tune of the first respondent, keeping the application preferred by the petitioner for getting electric connection without being acted upon . 2. Pursuant to the orders passed already, the concerned additional District Magistrate has been impleaded in the party array as the additional third respondent. 3. Heard the learned standing counsel for the second respondent and also the learned Government Pleader appearing for the additional third respondent. 4. Despite the completion of service of notice to the first respondent, nobody has entered appearance on behalf of him. W.P(C) No.25590 of 2009 -P 2 In the above facts and circumstances, the additional third respondent is hereby directed to consider Ext.P2 preferred by the petitioner and pass appropriate orders thereon after giving an opportunity of hearing to the parties concerned as expeditiously as possible, at any rate within one month from the date of receipt of the copy of this judgment, if orders have not been passed already. The Writ Petition is disposed of as above. Sd/- P.R.RAMACHANDRA MENON JUDGE //True Copy// P.A to Judge ab W.P(C) No.25590 of 2009 -P 3
