According to the petitioner, he had purchased a commercial property at Bodinayagampatti Village, Salem South Zone, Suramangalam from one Muhammed Sugaibideen under a registered sale deed bearing No.9297 of 2024 dated 26.12.2024. The vendor has already paid a sum of Rs.12,717/- towards electricity service connection on 14.05.2024 and has also obtained necessary completion certificate from the Director of Salem City Municipal Corporation. However, his application for electricity service connection was rejected.

However, the application is still pending consideration by the respondent. Further, the petitioner had also paid a sum of Rs.13,725/- on 04.12.2025 towards service connection through the TANGEDCO online payment Portal.

5. Recording the said submission, this writ petition stands disposed of with a direction to the respondent to provide electricity service connection to the petitioner's property within a period of one month from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. No costs.
