NO. 31351 OF 2008 G -------------------------------------- Dated this the 24th October, 2008 JUDGMENT Petitioner is stated to be a Cable T.V. operator. He has drawn cables through the electric poles unauthorisedly. He relies on Ext.P1 order. According to petitioner, he has preferred Exts.P2 and P3 applications. Learned standing counsel points out that in terms of the Board order, actually the petitioner should have paid the amount for regularizing it before 30.9.2008. The Writ Petition is disposed of directing the fourth respondent to consider and take a decision on Ext.P2 in accordance with law, within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this Judgment. There will be a further direction to the fifth respondent to consider and take a decision on Ext.P3 in accordance with law, within two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this Judgment. I make it clear that I have not pronounced on the contention of the learned standing counsel that the amounts were to be paid before 30.9.2008. I WPC.31351/08 G 2 leave open the said contention and it is for the concerned Officers to take a decision in the matter in terms of Ext.P1 Board order. Sd/= K. M.
