Learned Counsel for the petitioners taking support from an earlier order obtained by the petitioners from this Court in W.P.No.7028 of 2009 dated 24.6.2009 submitted that the petitioners are the joint owners of Plot Nos.8 and 9 in Old Survey No.69 and New Town Survey No.151, Sri Amman Nagar
Extension, Oragadam Village, Ambattur Taluk, Chennai-53 as there is a finding in their favour. On the basis of the same, this Court accepted the request of the petitioners to provide Electricity Service Connection by directing the Assistant Engineer (O&M) CEDC/West, Oragadam, Chennai, the 2nd respondent therein to receive the application of the petitioner for Electricity Service Connection and to extend the service connection within a period of 15 days from the date of receipt of a copy of that order. Subsequently, they have also got the electricity service connection. But, now the grievance of the petitioners is that the computer patta, till date, has not been issued to them, though they have applied for the same along with a D.D. For Rs.50/- and a copy of the Village Natham Patta and other documents. Hence the present Writ Petition. 3.
Ms.Ramya Revathi, learned Government Advocate who takes notice for the respondent sought for 4 weeks time to consider the case of the petitioners.
