IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.8341 of 2010 1. SUNITA KUMARI W/O SRI KUNDAN KUMAR R/O RAVINDRA RESIDENCY, FLAT NO. 104, ANANDPURI, P.S.S.K.PURI, DISTT-PATNA Versus 1. THE BIHAR STATE ELECTRICITY BOARD THROUGH ITS CHAIRMAN BAILEY ROAD, PATNA 2. EXECUTIVE ENGINEER , ELECTRIC SUPPLY DIVISION S.K.PURI, PATNA 3. ASSISTANT ELECTRICAL ENGINEER , ELECTRIC SUPPLY SUBDIVISION S.K.PURI, PATNA 4. JUNIOR ELECTRICAL ENGINEER, ELECTRIC SUPPLY SUB DIVISION S.K.PURI, PATNA ----------- 7. 25.01.2011 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and the learned Counsel for the Bihar State Electricity Board. The writ application was disposed on 10.1.2011 by an order dictated in open Court after the parties were heard. When Counsel for the petitioner obtained a certified copy of the order, he found that the recitals were not entirely in consonance with the case much less what was dictated in open Court. The matter then came to be listed under the heading ‘To Be Mentioned’ at his request. The Court attempted to clarify matters on 14.1.2011. It now transpires that without passing fresh orders, the errors cannot be rectified as though the recitals in the plain copy of the order available on record is correct that pronounced through the software on the computer being different is not capable of modification and requires fresh pronouncement. Counsel for the parties did not raise any objection with regard to the nature of the order passed in open Court as recorded on the file of the present case dated 10.1.2011. It has therefore become necessary to pronounce the order dated 10.1.2011 in a fresh format as a fresh order by reiteration. The application is therefore disposed off in the following terms:- . So long as a person is in physical possession of a premises constructed in accordance with law and due sanction, the Board is obliged to provide electricity connection to that person in accordance with law. Electricity being an item essential to daily use and living, it is imperative for one in possession. The question whether the possession is lawful or not or that there is any dispute with regard to title is not concern of the State Electricity Board, which can only impose conditions to protect its own interest in so far as its revenues are concerned. Needless to state that any person desiring connection in a premises is obliged to liquidate the earlier dues, if any, on that premises, if he desires connection. Let the request of the petitioner for a fresh connection in Flat No. 104, Ravindra Residency, situate at Anandpuri, Patna be considered in light of the aforesaid within a maximum period of 72 hours from the date of receipt and/or presentation of a copy of this order. The writ application stands disposed. Snkumar/- (Navin Sinha,J.)
