THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.6263 of 2011 ORDER: The petitioner purchased part of property in premises bearing No.5-8-327, Public Garden Road, Nampally, Hyderabad. Initially the property was one unit. By virtue of a decree in O.S.No.1119 of 1984 on the file of the II Additional Judge, City Civil Court, Hyderabad, it was partitioned and the carved out portion was assigned new number i.e. 5-8-327/B. That in turn was purchased by the petitioner. There existed a water connection in the undivided premises. The petitioner seeks shifting of the water supply connection to the premises purchased by him. His grievance is that the respondents are not acceding to his request. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned standing counsel for the respondents. The writ petition is totally misconceived. The water supply connection was existing in the premises bearing No.5-8-327. The premises purchased by the petitioner is in 5-8-327/B. If he wants the water supply, he has to obtain a separate connection. On the other hand, if the existing connection is to be shifted, he has to obtain the permission of the owner of that premises and follow the procedure prescribed by the respondents for shifting of the connections. He cannot unilaterally claim the shifting of the water supply connection from one premises to another. Hence, the writ petition is dismissed, leaving it open to the petitioner to file fresh application, after obtaining the consent of the owner of premises bearing No.5-8-327. There shall be no order as costs. _____________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dt.23.03.2011. GJ
