IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.14708 of 2001 BHAJJU MANDAL & ORS Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 12/ 16.11.2009 The petitioner had filed this application for issuance of direction upon the respondents for installation of transformer and to connect the transformer with electric wire to take load of 1,000 volt of electric energy for residents of Maksaspur, Koeri Tola, Kasim Bazar, District-Munger. This case was heard on earlier occasions. This Court vide order dated 03.08.2006, directed an Inspecting Team to submit a report on the following issues. The direction of this Court is being reproduced hereinbelow: (i) Whether 100 K.V.A. transformer (C/7) has been replaced by 200 K.V.A. transformer at village Maksaspur as claimed by the Board? (ii) If 200 K.V.A. transformer is found to have been installed at Maksaspur, whether the same is sufficient for requirement of the residents of Koeritola? (iii) Whether a separate transformer is required for the residents of Koeritola, Maksaspur considering their requirements and the existing load on 2 present transformer? (iv) Whether the residents of Koeritola have the capacity to take revenue burden if the said separate 100 K.V.A. transformer is installed at Koeritola, Maksaspur? Pursuant to the aforesaid direction contained in order dated 03.08.2006 an inquiry report has been submitted on 19.09.2006 by Chief Electrical Inspector, Government of Bihar, Patna and S.D.O. Munger. As per Inquiry Report total connected sanctioned load on 200 KVA (C/7) transformer is about 224 KW out of which 60 KW consumers load has been found disconnected on default. It was further reported that with the present connected load, the C/7 Transformer is still fully overloaded and cannot bear the additional load of Koeritila. Furthermore, as per the requirement of resident of Koeritola one No. of 100 KVA, 11 KV/433 V additional transformer may be installed with 3-Phase 4 Wire L.T. line from the back side of the Koeritola to avoid dispute. Thus the report contradicts the submission of petitioner that only 100 KVA transformer has been installed. However, the Chief Engineer (Operation and Maintenance), Patna would look into the feasibility and viability of acting pursuant to the recommendations made in Para-3 of the joint inspection report. 3 With the aforesaid observation, this application is disposed of.
