C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR,J. -------------------------------------------- W.P.C. NO. 9387 OF 2007 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 14th day of June, 2007 JUDGMENT Heard counsel for the petitioners, Government Pleader and standing counsel for KSEB. Separate applications filed by petitioners for electric connection were referred for decision by Addl. District Magistrate on account of objections by land owners over whose property line has to pass through. However, counsel for the petitioners submitted that objectors have withdrawn their objections and consequently reference to Addl. District Magistrate has become unnecessary. No orders are also passed by the fourth respondent. In the circumstances, W.P. is disposed of directing the third respondent to give connection to the petitioners within two weeks on petitioners complying with all formalities and on producing consent letters from land owners. In any case, he should draw the line over the pathway causing least inconvenience to least number of neighbouring land owners. (C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR) Judge 2
