Attention of the Court has been drawn to the aforesaid communication (Annexure P-8 of the writ petition), read with the corrigendum dated 22nd August, 2023 (Page no. 80 of the writ petition). 6.

Counsel appearing on behalf of the respondent no.2/CAQM also supports the case of the petitioner and submits that a communication was sent on behalf of CAQM, through the petitioner, for the disconnection of electricity.

7.

Mr. S.C. Garg, counsel appearing on behalf of the respondent no.1 submits that the connection was disconnected wrongfully and the respondent no.1 has filed a civil suit claiming damages against the petitioner company. 8.

Be that as it may, in view of the submissions noted above, the finding in the impugned order that the petitioner/BSES disconnected the electricity supply of the respondent no.1, without any order from the respondent no.2/CAQM, is against the record and is hence quashed. 9.

Accordingly, the impugned order is set aside. Consequently, the directions given in paragraph no.13 of the impugned order are also set aside. 10.

Needless to state that the observations made herein would not affect the adjudication of the civil suit filed by the respondent no.1 claiming damages.

Accordingly, the writ petition stands disposed of. 12.

Pending application also stands disposed of.
