A.MUHAMED MUSTAQUE, J.

================== W.P.(C).No. 26350 of 2015 ================== Dated this the 22nd day of September, 2015

J U D G M E N T

The petitioner claims to be a joint tenant in respect of Building No. C.C No.41/2806. The petitioner runs a fast food centre. The petitioner approached this Court on account of disconnection of water supply.

2.

This Court on 31.8.2015 ordered as follows:

"There shall be an interim direction to the 2nd respondent, KWA to restore water connection provisionally, subject to the final result of this writ petition."

3.

It is admitted by the water authority that the connection has been provided to the petitioner pursuant to the direction of this Court.

4.

The first respondent filed a detailed counter in this matter and disputed the right of the petitioner to have reconnection of the water supply. It is to be noted that the petitioner has approached Accommodation Controller by Ext.P6. Accommodation Controller is the authority to consider Ext.P6, if the amenity of the

W.P.(C).No. 26350 of 2015 - : 2 :- tenant has been cut off. Therefore with a liberty to agitate all the issues before the Accommodation Controller, the writ petition is disposed in the light of the interim order.

5.

The right of petitioner for further supply would be subject to the outcome of the decision of the Accommodation Controller.

6.

There shall be a direction to the Accommodation Controller, 3rd respondent, to dispose Ext.P6 within two months after hearing the petitioner as well as the first respondent and all other issues are left open.

The writ petition is disposed of, as above.
