PETITIONERS AND The District Collector (Panchayat Wing) West Godavari District & others. .....RESPONDENTS THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE RAMESH RANGANATHAN WRIT PETITION No.22772 of 2003 O R D E R: The relief sought for in this writ petition is to declare the action of the respondents in proceeding with disconnection of domestic tap connections of the petitioners, without taking action on their representations dated 04-07-2003 and 11-10-2003, as illegal and arbitrary. Heard Sri A.V.Sesha Sai, learned counsel for the petitioners and Sri M.Prabhakar Rao, learned standing counsel for respondents 3 and 4. This Court, by order in WPMP.No.28528 of 2003 dated 29-10-2003, directed that, on the petitioners depositing a monthly fee of Rs.30/- with effect from 01-04-2002, the domestic tap connections given to them shall not be disconnected until further orders. Sri A.V.Sesha Sai, learned counsel for the petitioners, states that in view of the interim orders passed by this Court, the domestic tap connections have not been disconnected. It would meet the ends of justice if the writ petition itself is disposed of directing the respondents to consider the representations of the petitioners dated 04-07-2003 and 11-10-2003 and pass appropriate orders thereon within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Needless to state that till final orders are passed in this regard the interim orders passed by this Court shall continue to remain in force. The writ petition is accordingly disposed of. No order as to costs. ___________ 12-07-2006 usd
