This writ petition is filed for a mandamus to declare the action of the respondents in not considering the representation of the petitioners, dated 23.05.2013, for grant of independent 49 HP electricity service connections, as illegal and arbitrary, and also for a direction to the 2nd respondent to provide independent electricity service connections to the petitioners 2 to 4. 2.

Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that due to a dispute among the petitioners in respect of the existing electricity service connection, they made a representation to the 2nd respondent on 23.05.2013, seeking to give separate service connections to the petitioners 2 to 4, by providing 49 HP load each, but the 2nd respondent has not taken any action so far, though they have already deposited an amount of Rs.4.00 lakhs as security deposit, at the time of obtaining 150 HP service connection.

4.

Learned standing counsel for the respondents submits that the petitioners have to approach the Integrated Customer Service Center for dismantling their existing service connection and apply for new service connections.
