2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for respondents Nos.2 to 5.
3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is the resident of house bearing D.No.21/630, Rajaji Road, Proddatur Town, Kadapa District. Due to civil disputes, the petitioner filed O.S.No.240 of 2016 on the file of the Senior Civil Judge Court, Proddatur, Kadapa District, against his mother and brother seeking for grant of permanent injunction. The said suit was dismissed on 01.08.2024. Challenging the same, the petitioner filed A.S.No.34 of 2024 before the XI Additional District Judge, Proddatur and the same is pending for consideration. While so, at the instance of the petitioner’s brother/2[nd] defendant, respondent Nos.4 and 5 disconnected the electricity service connection of the petitioner. Immediately, the petitioner approached respondent Nos.4 and 5 and submitted oral representation for restoration of the power supply to his house. But, respondent Nos.4 and 5 did not consider the request made by the petitioner. Hence, the present Writ Petition.
4. Learned Standing Counsel for respondent Nos.2 to 5 submits that the respondents will consider the request made by the petitioner, by following due process of law.
5. Having regard to the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondent Nos.2 to 5 and on perusal of the material placed on record, this Court is of the considered opinion that the present Writ Petition can be disposed of directing the respondents to restore the electricity service connection of the petitioner, by following due process of law, within due course with immediate effect.
6. With the above direction, the Writ Petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs.
As a sequel miscellaneous application, pending, if any, shall also stand closed.
