..... Respondents This court made the following :

ORDER :

Heard Smt. V.Srilakshmi, learned counsel for the petitioners, Sri R. Vinod Reddy, learned Standing Counsel for Telangana State Southern Power Distribution Corporation Limited appearing for respondents 1 to 4, and Sri Sampath Prabhakar Reddy, learned Standing Counsel for Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) appearing for respondent No.5.

2.

Petitioners claim that they are the owners of plot bearing No.126 in Sy.No.11/11 to 11/13; Plot No.126 in Sy.No.11/11 to 11/13; Plot No.899 in Sy.No.11/14 to 11/18; and Plot No.545 in Sy.No.11/14 to 11/18, respectively, situated at Khanamet Village, Serlingampally Mandal, Ranga Reddy District of Sri Swamy Ayyappa Cooperative Housing Society Limited, Khanamet village. 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.

4.

In view of the same, the Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of giving liberty to the petitioners to apply for electric power supply connections by complying all the norms as required by the respondent - Company. As and when such applications are made, the respondent - Company is directed to provide individual service connections to the houses of petitioners within a period of four weeks from the date of submission of such applications and provision of such power supply connections shall be subject to further direction that may be issued by the State of Telangana or the Supreme Court in the litigation pending before it arising out of the judgment dated 12.09.2012 in W.P.No.20407 of 2008 and batch. Pending Miscellaneous Petitions, if any, shall stand closed. __________________________ JUSTICE P.NAVEEN RAO Date: 18.03.2019 Kkm
