025-82 were given in the names of two persons i.e., Mr.Assirudin and Mr.S.Suresh, if any tampering has been noticed in respect of service connection No.147-025-82, action should be taken only against Mr.S.Suresh, for the reason that the door number of the petitioner being No.1/1, differs from Door No.1/2, which is occupied by Mr.S.Suresh. When the electricity service connection No.147-025-03 given to the petitioner is different, as he is separately occupying the premises in Door No.1/1, Brightons Road, Pulianthope, Chennai, whatever irregularity or interference or even theft of energy is allegedly found against Mr.S.Suresh, his service connection alone is liable to be disconnected. Without resorting to such lawful step, the respondents cannot compel the petitioner, who has been given a separate service connection No.147-025-03, to pay the penalty for the fault committed by one Mr.S.Suresh. It is also stated by the learned standing counsel for the respondents that the premises of the petitioner is closed as on date. Therefore, the writ petition stands allowed as prayed for. However, if the petitioner makes any application for restoration of electricity service connection, the respondents shall consider the same and do the needful within a period of 30 days, as contemplated under Section 43(1) of the Electricity Act, 2003. Consequently, M.P.No.1 of 2009 is closed. No costs. Sd/Assistant Registrar //True Copy// Sub Assistant Registrar ss To 1.
