The petitioner, on the other hand, disputes the same. If that is so, the petitioner may represent the respondents and if a such representation is made by him, respondent No.3 is directed to consider and dispose of the same in accordance with the policy and after holding a fact finding inquiry, if so required. C.W.P NO. 5456 OF 2009 -2- The needful shall be done within three months from the date of receipt of certified copy of this order. Meanwhile, in case the petitioner deposits half of the disputed amount along with surety for the balance, without prejudice to his rights, the water connection shall be restored. Disposed of. Let a copy of this order be given dasti on payment of usual charges. APRIL 02, 2009 (SURYA KANT) shalini JUDGE
