Prayer was sought to restore the water connection to the petitioner's residence. After detailed hearing of the matter, by an order dated 19/10/2006, this Court directed the fifth respondent to restore water supply to the petitioner within two weeks. The water authority was also directed to permit the fifth respondent to do the same. The fifth respondent thereafter had filed a review petition, R.P.No.973/2006 seeking review of the above order. That was dismissed as per order dated 10/11/2006. W.A.No.2145/2006 was also dismissed. 2. Now, that the water connection has been restored by the fifth respondent in compliance with the directions of the interim order, nothing further survives in the writ petition. But the learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the restoration of the water connection was not to the full satisfaction of the petitioner. There is no further prayer in the writ petition regarding any such complaint. If there is any non supply or W.P.(C).NO.4138/2005-P -:2:- defective supply of water through the existing pipeline, it is a matter where the Water Authority can go into for which the petitioner will be free to approach the Water Authority. If any such representation is received by the Water Authority, the Water Authority will consider the same in accordance with law. Writ petition is disposed of as above. No costs.
