TO JUDGE vps P.N.RAVINDRAN, J. --------------------------- W.P.(C) No. 2339 OF 2010 -------------------------- Dated this the 24th day of October, 2011 J U D G M E N T Ext.P3 order passed by the Additional District Magistrate on 19.12.2009 permitting the Kerala State Electricity Board (hereinafter referred to as 'the Board' for short) to draw a weather proof line from a post already in existence in the petitioner's land for the purpose of proving electricity connection to the residence of respondents 3 and 4 is under challenge in this writ petition. 2. Though this writ petition was heard and notice ordered to the respondents on 5.2.2010, no interim order was passed as a result of which the line was drawn and energised. The proposal mooted by the Board, which was objected to by the petitioner was to draw a weather proof line from a post already standing in the petitioner's land for the purpose of giving electricity connection to the residence of respondents 3 and 4. The weather proof line crosses the property of the petitioner for a distance of only one foot. The issue raised is so trivial and in my opinion no interference is called for. By no stretch of WPC No.2339/2010 2 imagination can it be said that the weather proof line which crosses the petitioner's property for a distance of one foot will cause any injury or inconvenience to the petitioner. It cannot therefore be said that the petitioner has suffered any real injury or any reason to feel aggrieved. The writ petition fails and is accordingly dismissed.
