Respondents ----------- For the Petitioner : Mr. Sanjay Kumar Pandey, Advocate For the State : Mr. A.Amanullah, S.C.17 For the BSEB : Mr. Anand Ojha, Advocate ------------ 2. 26.3.2010. Heard the petitioner in person, Mr. A. Amanullah, learned counsel for the State and Mr. Anand Ojha, learned counsel for the Bihar School Examination Board. The two grievances, namely, non-supply of electricity to the Indo-British Medical Centre situated in Village-Ameya, P.O.-Mahuawan, P.S. Kateya, District- Gopalganj and non-repairing of the road to the said medical centre, have been highlighted by the petitioner in this Public - 2 - interest litigation. As far as first one is concerned, it is submitted by Mr. Ojha that if the petitioner submits an application under Section 43 of the Electricity Act, 2003 appropriate steps shall be taken within the parameters of the said statute. In view of the aforesaid, we are inclined to direct that if the petitioner submits an application by completing the formalities of the provisions of the said Act the same shall be dealt with by the competent authority of the Electricity Board in quite promptitude. As far as connectivity to the Indo-British Medical Centre is concerned, we are disposed to direct if there is already an existing public road, which has to be repaired by the State Government, the same shall be repaired immediately. If, however, any other authority has the obligation to maintain the said road, it is open to the petitioner to approach the said authority. With the aforesaid observation and direction the writ petition stands disposed of. Pawan/- (Dipak Misra, CJ) (Mihir Kumar Jha, J)
