Rahmathunnisa Begum, Hyderabad.

... Petitioner And The Assistant Engineer(Operations), Distribution 4 C VII, Langar House Section, APCPDCL, Hyderabad.

... Respondent DATE OF JUDGMENT PRONOUNCED: 7.8.2015

HON'BLE THE ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE DILIP B. BHOSALE Writ Petition No.19851 of 2010 ORDER:

Petitioner, by this writ petition under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, seeks the following relief: "For the facts and reasons stated supra, it is prayed that the Hon'ble Court may be pleased to issue a writ, order or direction in the nature of mandamus while declaring the impugned action of the respondent in disconnecting the electricity supply under service connection No. 9004291 to the petitioner's house b. No.

9-3-30/5/1 situated at Companybagh, Langarhouse, Hyderabad as illegal, discriminatory, caprice and incompetent besides violative of fundamental rights and principles of natural justice, to direct the respondent to continue the electricity supply besides notional damages and to pass such other orders as may be deemed just and proper to meet the ends of justice." This Court, on 25.8.2010, while issuing notice, passed the following interim order on the Miscellaneous Petition No. 25151 of 2010.

"Pending further orders, there shall be a direction to the respondent to reconnect the power supply to the petitioner's residence at the subject premises in Companybagh, Langhar House under service connection No. 9004291 subject to the condition that the petitioner shall continue to abide by the terms and conditions of such supply including the regular payment of the electricity dues."

In view of the nature of prayer made in the writ petition and the interim order dated 25.8.2010, I am satisfied that the writ petition can be conveniently disposed of in terms of the interim order. Order accordingly.

This, however, shall not preclude the respondent from recovering any dues/arrears from the petitioner and/or taking any action in accordance with law, if they so desire and advised. Consequently, pending miscellaneous applications shall also stand closed. No costs.
