This writ application was filed by the petitioner for a direction upon the respondent Bihar State Electricity Board to provide electric connection for domestic purpose in the residential building of the petitioner. After filing of the writ application the respondent have examined the matter and have granted necessary relief or the electric connection to the petitioner. This fact is also borne out from the counter affidavit which is filed by the respondents. They have also explained the reasons for delay in the counter affidavit. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that he is not satisfied with the said relief alone because he is entitled to certain compensation for delay and harassment caused to her in this regard. The Court does not want to express any opinion - 2 - except observing that if the petitioner so likes that there are other laws under which relief can be granted, he is at liberty to approach the appropriate forum. Compensation is not an issue which can be decided in a writ application filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. This writ application is disposed of in view of above RPS (Ajay Kumar Tripathi,J.)
