NO. 715 OF 2007 IN W.P.C. NO.23362 OF 2006 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 3rd day of August, 2007 O R D E R Since respondent in the Review Petition is a serving soldier this Court ordered electric connection to his house. However the petitioners in the Review Petition declined connection on the ground that the building to which connection is sought is not in the respondent's name. Counsel for the respondent submitted that in view of the objection of the Board, the building is transferred in the name of the respondent in whose favour connection was ordered by this Court and the correctness of the decision of the Board to deny the connection itself is to be considered. In the circumstances, Review Petition is dismissed leaving freedom to the respondent to raise all contentions in the WPC. If connection is not given in terms of the interim order dated 31.5.2007, respondent can move this Court for contempt. If the respondent is on duty and is not in station, his wife or any near relative will be allowed to represent him. (C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR) Judge 2
