SRI.P.P.THAJUDEEN, SC THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 16/07/2007, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, J. .................................................................... W.P.(C) No.1436 of 2007 .................................................................... Dated this the 16thday of July, 2007. JUDGMENT Since Standing Counsel for KSEB submitted that the line drawn is over a pathway, I do not think the petitioner's challenge against the same is tenable because pathway is otherwise used by the public for travelling. In the circumstances, W.P. is closed with the clarification that whatever is the petitioner's claim over the pathway, will not be affected by drawal and retention of electric line over it.
