THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE L.NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.6701 of 2010 ORDER: The petitioner is a company dealing with telephone services. It has established a cell tower at Bhogaram Village of Ranga Reddy District. The establishment is provided with power supply through S.C.No.200300769. The Assistant Engineer, Operations, Keesara, the respondent herein, addressed a letter, dated 17.07.2009, informing the petitioner that complaints have been received from the Gram Panchayat that the tower is emitting radiation and that it must be shifted within 15 days. The petitioner was also informed that the power supply would be disconnected within one week. No steps ensued thereafter. But, the power supply is said to have been disconnected on 22.02.2010. The action of the respondent is challenged in this writ petition. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondent. The terms and conditions of supply of electric power are governed by the agreement between the petitioner on the one hand and the respondent on the other, apart from other statutory provisions. In case the petitioner has violated any terms, the respondent can certainly disconnect the power supply by issuing show cause notice, pointing out the alleged violation. The letter, dated 17.07.2009, does not mention any violation on the part of the petitioner. In case the Gram Panchayat or any other authority has any right to prevent the functioning of the tower established by the petitioner, they can certainly take steps. However, the respondent cannot disconnect the power supply on the basis of a letter, dated 17.07.2009. Therefore, the writ petition is allowed and the respondent is directed to restore the power supply. In case the respondent wants to proceed against the petitioner, it shall issue a notice forthwith specifying the reason and the relevant provision of law and take further steps, depending on the nature of explanation that may be offered by the petitioner. This order, however, shall not be construed as conferring any right on the petitioner to continue the cell tower in case it is otherwise contrary to law. There shall be no order as to costs. _______________________ L.NARASIMHA REDDY,J Dt:25.03.2010. Note Issue cc tomorrow. (B/o) kdl
