(Oral) The prayer in this petition is for release of temporary electricity connection in the light of the order passed by this Court in CWP No.4698 of 2013 and connected petitions decided on 15.05.2013.
Learned counsel for the respondent-Corporation very fairly concedes that the controveRs.raised in the present petition is squarely covered by the decision rendered in the above noted CWP No.4698 of 2013 and, therefore, prays that the instant petition be also disposed of in the same terMs.In CWP No.4698 of 2013 it has been held as under:- “Learned counsel for the petitioners assert that there is a stay on further construction in CWP No.10331 of 2012 pending before the Ist Bench.
The question of environmental clearance is pending before the Ministry of Environment, New Delhi.
It may take some time to resolve the issue.
The prayer in these petitions is for grant of temporary domestic electricity connections to the petitioners and the petitioners undertake that the supply of energy to their dwelling units will not give them any equitable right of saving the construction, in case, ultimately it is found that the buildings are required to be demolished.”
The writ petition is accordingly disposed of with a direction to the respondent-Punjab State Power Corporation LTD.to install the temporary CWP No.10298 of 2013 -2- domestic electricity connections/meters and energize the same within seven days from the date of receipt of certified copy of this order in terms of the period of mechanism made out in CWP No.11735 of 2010 (Heena Yadav versus The State of Punjab and otheRs.decided on 02.08.2011 and the conditions/undertakings imposed in the aforesaid CWP No.4698 of 2013 (Raj Kumar and another versus State of Punjab and others).Disposed of in view of the above terMs.(RAJIV NARAIN RAINA) JUDGE 20 05.2013 rajeev
