HON’BLE DR. JUSTICE G. YETHIRAJULU W.P.No. 20611 of 2001 DATE: 28-01-2008 Between: M/s J. Thimmaiah Metal Industry, Ameenpur village, Patancheru Mandal, Medak District represented by its Proprietor, J. Jaipal ……………… Petitioner and 1. The A.P. Central Power Distribution Corporation Limited, rep by its Managing Director, Hyderabad and two others. ………….. Respondents HON’BLE DR. JUSTICE G. YETHIRAJULU W.P.No. 20611 of 2001 ORDER: This writ petition is filed seeking to declare the action of the respondents in disconnecting the power supply to the crusher set up by the petitioner bearing service connection No.71 at Ameenpur Village, Patancheru Mandal, Medak District as illegal and arbitrary. The petitioner is running a crusher by doing quarry operations. Similar industries were also set up by several persons by installing crushing machines. A writ petition has been by some persons before this Court covered by W.P.No.9473 of 2001 and batch and the High Court directed the government to stop the quarrying operations by canceling the leases. In pursuance of that, the leases were cancelled and the service was disconnected. In the same process, the service of the petitioner was also disconnected. If there is any pilferage or other irregularity found on the part of the petitioner, the respondents would have given notice requiring him to give explanation as to why the service shall not be disconnected. But, since the present disconnection was in pursuance of the direction of the High Court, it cannot be said that the disconnection is illegal or arbitrary. I do not find any merits in the writ petition. Hence, the writ petition is dismissed. No order as to costs. ___________________ Dr. G. YETHIRAJULU, J Date:28-01-2008 YCR
