HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.24542 of 2006 Dated:27.11.2006 Between: Maddila Appalanarasamma. …Petitioner and Eastern Power Distribution Company of A.P.Ltd., and others. …Respondents HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE V.V.S.RAO WRIT PETITION No.24542 of 2006 ORDER: The petitioner is a resident of Visakhapatnam. She is the owner of a small house bearing No.26-14-164/5 situated in a slum area known as Velampeta. She approached the respondents for availing electricity supply and paid a sum of Rs.1,325/- towards connection charges. She alleges that service connection with Meter No.CCCVC 352199 was given on 08.02.2006. However, the service was disconnected on 13.02.2006 by the employees of the first respondent without any valid reason. Aggrieved by the same, the present Writ Petition is filed. At the stage of admission itself, the learned Standing Counsel for Andhra Pradesh Eastern Power Distribution Company Limited, Sri Raghava Reddy, on instructions submits that the amount paid by the petitioner was duly acknowledged by Permanent Receipt vide P.R.No.CCCVC 352199 and so far electricity supply was not given to the petitioner’s premises. As the Writ Petition is filed placing reliance entirely on the Permanent Receipt for an amount of Rs.1,325/-, this Court has perused the said notice carefully. The same in any manner does not support the contention of the petitioner that service connection was given to the petitioner. The Writ Petition is filed making false and frivolous allegations. The petitioner is liable to pay exemplary costs for filing such Writ Petition. However, as the petitioner is a poor person living in a slum area, this Court restrains from imposing any costs. The Writ Petition is accordingly, dismissed. No costs. ____________ (V.V.S.RAO, J) 27.11.2006 vs
