Dhakshanamoorthi M v. The Executive Engineer

O R D E R

The

petitioner

has

approached

the respondent/TANGEDCO with an application not to effect electricity service connection to the third respondent.

2.The case of the petitioner is that the third respondent has purchased the subject property from the fourth respondent, who is the brother of this petitioner. According to the petitioner, the subject property is a joint family property. Since there is a dispute over the property, a civil suit in O.S.No.138 of 2002 has also been instituted by one of his sister and the same is pending before the Subordinate Court, Pudukkottai. Hence, the sale deed executed by the fourth respondent in favour of the third respondent is not valid. However, the third respondent is attempting to obtain an electricity service connection from the respondent TANGEDCO by placing the invalid sale deed.

3.The learned Standing Counsel appearing for the official respondents on instructions which he has received from the Assistant Engineer, South Viralimalai submits that based on the application submitted by the third respondent, they have already visited the place for effecting electricity service connection and found that there was no bore well and hence they have not effected service connection to the third respondent.

4.Recording the submission made by the learned Standing Counsel, this writ petition is closed. No costs. Consequently, connected Miscellaneous Petition is closed.
