The case of the petitioners is that the petitioners are the agriculturists who are cultivating their agricultural lands and free electricity connection was supplied to their lands. While being so, the electrical wires passing through their lands were cut by some miscreants due to which the electricity supply connection was interrupted. Thereafter, the petitioner had informed the same to the Respondents 1 & 2 and the 1^st Respondent assured the petitioners that steps would be taken to restore the electricity supply connection vide proceedings dated 25.04.2018 after which no steps were taken by the Respondents with regard to restoration of electricity supply connection. Therefore, the petitioners made a detailed representation dated 03.06.2019 to the Respondents 1 & 2, however, till date, no action has been taken on his representation. Hence, the present Writ Petition is filed seeking the above relief.
