Jagan Counsel for the respondents: Sri S.V. Ramana for Sri O. Manohar Reddy SC for APSEB This Court made the following: THE HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE C.V.NAGARJUNA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.7286 of 2010 ORDER:- This writ petition is filed for a Mandamus to declare the action of the respondents in diverting the electrical line from Sy.No.564 of Badankurthi Village, Khanapur Mandal, Adilabad District contrary to sanctioned letter dated 06.06.2009, as illegal and arbitrary. I have heard Sri A. Jagan, learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri S.V. Ramana representing Sri O. Manohar Reddy, learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. The petitioner applied for 15 numbers of 75 horse power agricultural connections. On 06.06.2009, the estimate was sanctioned for Rs.7,82,420/-. The petitioner is claimed to have paid the said amount. His grievance is that instead of laying the electrical line as per the sanction, the respondents have been contemplating to deviate it from the sanctioned estimate in order to extend the power supply to others. The apprehension of the petitioner is that if this is permitted, he may not get proper power supply. The learned counsel for the respondents submitted that after sanctioning of the estimate in favour of the petitioner, some other agriculturists in that area have also made applications on account of which the respondents were required to revise the sanction. With regard to the apprehension of the petitioner that on account of change in the alignment of the electrical line, he may not receive proper supply, the learned counsel assured that the respondents will take care to see that proper voltage is maintained to all the consumers including the petitioner. The above submissions of the learned counsel for the respondents are placed on record and the writ petition is disposed of with the direction to the respondents to extend power supply to the petitioner expeditiously in pursuance of the sanctioned estimate, as revised later. As a sequel to disposal of the writ petition, WPMP.No.9407 of 2010 filed by the petitioner for interim relief is disposed of as infructuous. _____________________________ C.V.
