Precisely, the case of the petitioner as has been highlighted in the petition and further canvassed by Mr. Ashok Kumar Verma, learned counsel representing the petitioner is that though petitioner is ready and willing to provide right of way for service wire, but since respondent-Electricity Board has laid service wire over the slab of the first floor of the house of the petitioner, she is unable to raise construction of second floor.
2. On instructions, learned counsel representing the petitioner states that the petitioner has no objection in case service wire is taken from the side of her house and in that regard, she is also ready and willing to pay the expenditure, if any, incurred for shifting of wires.
