IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CWJC No.14476 of 2007 JANARDAN YADAV Versus THE BIHAR STATE ELECTRICITY BOARD & ORS ----------- 06. 15/07/2008 Petitioner is not being provided an electric connection in the property in question situated in the town of Bhagalpur because the registered consumer and owner of the property earlier in question has a large demand notice outstanding against him. That due has not yet been settled by the recorded owner of the property at the relevant time. The present petitioner based on a sale deed executed in the year 1992 wants a new connection. The Court wanted to have a look on the original sale deed because terms and conditions of the transfer of property as well as the signature on the said sale deed were required to be looked into especially in regard to annexure-3 brought on record by the petitioner. Counsel is not willing to furnish the same for whatever reasons. For the given facts there is no occasion for this Court to pass a mandamus upon the respondents when the Court is not satisfied with the bonafide of the claim as well as the so-called right which is available to him under the law. Let the petitioner take whatever steps may be required in getting the electrical connection in question after meeting the requirements of law and rule in this regard by approaching the competent authority. The writ application stands disposed of. rkp (Ajay Kumar Tripathi, J) - 2 -
