Abdul Haji v. The Superintendent Engineer

ORDER This writ petition has been filed for issuance of writ of mandamus directing the third respondent not to give electricity service connection to the fourth respondent with respect to subject property, by considering the petitioner's representation dated 04.09.2020.

¶2When the matter was taken up for hearing, the learned standing counsel appearing for the respondents 1 to 3 submitted that electricity connection has already been given to the fourth respondent, by taking into account the patta standing in the name of the fourth respondent, on 21.01.2021.

¶3In view of the above, the relief sought for in this writ petition does not survive. The mere grant of electricity connection in favour of the fourth respondent does not create any separate right in favour of the fourth respondent and the interse dispute between the petitioner and the fourth respondent shall be dealt with individually without any reference to the service connection that has been given to the fourth respondent.

¶4This writ petition is disposed in the above terms. No costs.
