Petitioners claim that as construction of individual houses were completed in the above plots, they have applied for providing electric power supply connections to their houses, but so far the power supply connection is not provided to their houses and the applications are not accepted on the ground that the State Government and the GHMC are opposing to provide electric power supply connection to any property located in Sri Swamy Ayyappa Cooperative Housing Society Limited. 3.

It is seen from the material on record that so far petitioners have not applied for providing electric power supply connections. Therefore, they cannot allege that the respondent - Company is not providing power supply connections.
