BY STANDING COUNSEL SRI.M.DINESH THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 13/04/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S.SIRI JAGAN, J ----------------------------------------- W.P.(C)NO.9705 of 2007 ----------------------------------------- Dated this the 13th day of April, 2007 JUDGMENT The petitioner originally applied for water connection to House No.VI/399A of Palliport Village. Later on he was forced to sell that house and moved on to House No.VI/424C of the same village. The petitioner wanted the Water Authority to give water connection to his new house based on the application submitted by him for water connection to the earlier house, namely House No.VI/399A, which the Water Authority has refused to. In the above circumstances, the petitioner filed Ext.P3 representation before the third respondent. The petitioner seeks a direction to the third respondent to consider and dispose of Ext.P3. 2. Heard the counsel for the petitioner as also the learned standing counsel for the Water Authority. 3. Of course, the learned counsel for the Water Authority would contend that since these two houses are separate, application for connection to one house cannot be treated as W.P.(C)No.9705/2007 :2: application to another house. Whatever that be, without going into the merits of the contentions in this writ petition, I direct the third respondent to consider and pass appropriate orders on Ext.P3, after affording the petitioner an opportunity of being heard, as expeditiously as possible, at any rate, within one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. The writ petition is disposed of as above. S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE css / W.P.(C)No.9705/2007 :3: W.P.(C)No.9705/2007 :4:
