Ram Piari (deceased) through LRs ....Respondents CORAM : HON'BLE MRS. JUSTICE ALKA SARIN Present :

Mr. Umesh Aggarwal, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Ritesh Pandey, Advocate for the respondents. ALKA SARIN, J. (Oral) The challenge in the present revision petition is to the order dated 13.02.2020 whereby the Trial Court directed the petitioner to restore the electricity supply to the shop of the respondents herein. Learned counsel for the petitioner would contend that the electricity supply qua the shop of the respondents has been disconnected by the Electricity Department and the petitioner is no one to restore the electricity connection.

It is further the contention that the petitioner would have no objection if the respondents move an application for restoration of the electricity connection whether directly from the meter installed in the premises of the petitioner or by installing a sub meter in his own premises and after clearing all the arrears if any found due. Learned counsel for the respondents states that he has no objection and would be satisfied if an order is passed that if any application is filed by the respondents for restoration of the electricity connection to the shop the same would be dealt with by the Electricity Department expeditiously and the petitioner should fully cooperate in getting the electricity connection restored. Learned counsel for the respondents further JITENDER KUMAR 2023.03.
