(iv) Further, even viewing on rational basis, shifting of service connection within the same survey no. by the same owner does not require any change in the contents of the said application in Form-2, i.e., no new entry/information is going to be made, and hence re-filing the same Application, which is already available with the authorities, filled up with the same particulars for the same survey no., (herein same sub-division alone is involved), would be a futile and purposeless exercise. It is pertinent to note that, that is why, the frames of the regulation do not stipulate to require to make fresh application for shifting of service connection whereas they stipulate so for the name change. Therefore, prudence also does not warrant to make fresh application repeating the same earlier application, otherwise, it would be a futile and wasteful exercise. Only to prevent such purposeless demand from the officials, the rules and regulations are framed and this Hon'ble Court and Hon'ble Supreme Court in catena of decisions have categorically held that the authorities should act within the four corners of the rules/regulations. It is pertinent to note that an authority demanding something without quoting the provision of law under which he is demanding so is an abuse of powers and hence Hon'ble Court should take cognizance of the same and admonish the official respondents.
