Transco, Ranga Reddy District, Mint Compound, Hyderabad & others. … Respondents Counsel for the petitioner : Sri Jalli Kanakaiah This Court made the following: THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.24436 of 2002 ORDER:- This writ petition is filed for a Writ of Mandamus to declare the action of respondent Nos.1 to 3 in not restoring power supply in respect of service connection bearing No.57/II relating to plot bearing No.236 of Gajularamaram, Qutbullapur, Ranga Reddy District, as illegal and arbitrary. Heard Sri Jalli Kanakaiah, learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the record. The petitioner claimed to have purchased the property in question under registered sale deed dated 28.12.1999. His grievance is that though he has nothing to do with the alleged pilferage of electricity by the person, who was in occupation of the property prior to his purchase, the service connection is disconnected for non-payment of the amount demanded under provisional assessment dated 17.04.1999. This Court Certiorari to quash order dated 16.09.2002 in proceedings No.AP/GNT/33718/ ENF.II/KST/2002/1914 of the Regional Provident Fund Commissioner, Guntur. At the hearing, Smt. R.N. Reddy representing the Regional Provident Fund Commissioner, Guntur, respondent No.1, submitted that subsequent to the filing of this writ petition, the petitioner already paid the amounts in dispute. Sri M. Srikanth, learned counsel for the petitioner, has not disputed this statement. As the petitioner is already stated to have paid the demanded amount, which is in dispute, the cause in the writ petition does not survive for consideration. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed as infructuous. As a sequel to dismissal of the writ petition as infructuous, WPMP.No.23482 of 2002 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is also dismissed as infructuous. ____________________________ C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY, J Date: 13.02.2009 ES
