JUDGMENT
I am glad to note that the petitioner and the fourth respondent (who are siblings) have arrived at a consensus at least in regard to the shifting of electricity supply line. It is agreed that the line can be shifted to the southern boundary of the property of the fourth respondent (within the compound wall) for which the existing position of the electric post shall also be changed.
2.
The electricity line shall be drawn as close to the compound wall as possible without encroaching into the pathway over which the petitioner allegedly claims a right of easement. The expenses for shifting the electricity line and erecting the post shall be borne by the petitioner and the fourth respondent in equal shares. Respondents 2 and 3 shall complete the task without further delay and Ext.P6 order passed by the first respondent is modified accordingly.
The Writ Petition is disposed of.
V. CHITAMBARESH JUDGE ncd
