2.The facts of the case are as follows:
The petitioner is the cultivating tenant in respect of three acres in SF No.646/1, Thotta Salai, Komaralingam Village, Madathukulam Taluk, Thiruppur District. Her tenancy was recognized by the Revenue Court by proceedings dated 16.12.2004. Thereafter, the petitioner constructed a small shed to stay there and look after agricultural operations in the land. She applied for electricity supply connection and the 3rd respondent after getting legal opinion, indemnity bond and letter of undertaking granted electricity supply on 22.01.2020. Thereafter, the petitioner came to know that the 4th respondent who purchased the land under the cultivation of the petitioner has given objection letter to the 3rd respondent and in turn the 3rd respondent without holding enquiry, after getting report from VAO behind the back of the petitioner has threatened to disconnect the electricity supply connection while asking the petitioner to submit the records. The documents are already with the 3rd respondent. The electricity supply connection may be cut at any time, Hence, the present petition.

Challenging the same, the petitioner filed a writ petition in W.P.No.3701 of 2021 before this Court and the same is pending. This Court may close this writ petition and permit the petitioner to canvas all the points before this Court.
