This judgment in the centre: on the left the decisions it cites, on the right the decisions citing it. Colour is the treatment; choose a decision to open it.
1. We are not inclined to either pass any order of stay or deny grant of electric connection to a person, who is entitled to supply of electricity as an essential service. The appellant is the developer. He submits that supply could not be effected as possession had not been handed over.
2. We are of the view that, not handing over of possession of the flat is inconsequential, as admittedly there is a registered deed of conveyance in favour of the writ petitioner, which the appellant as the developer had also executed. Under such circumstances, any dispute between the developer and the writ petitioner, can be decided by a Civil Court.

3. Accordingly, the appeal and the connected application are dismissed.
4. There shall be no order as to costs.
5. Parties are to act on the server copy of this order.
