CWP-17133-2016 (O & M) ::2::

Learned State counsel submits that this court while passing an order dated 07.02.2020 in LPA No.1924 of 2014 had directed that "in case the units are permitted to run under the supervision of Punjab Pollution Control Board, on the next date of hearing, the court may permit reconnection of water and electricity".

In view of the above, no further issue arises for adjudication. Petition is hereby disposed of. It is made clear that Mr. Bunger has confined his prayer to the dry activities. Needless to observe that in case, he has any other cause of action, he shall be at liberty to approach the court by way of a separate writ petition.

The authorities concerned shall restore the electricity and water connection subject to clearance of all dues and fulfillment of formalities at the earliest.
