Karuppusamy v. The Chairman
Case brief
What is this about?
Petitioner sought a writ directing TANGEDCO to provide uninterrupted three-phase power supply for 18 hours. The Court held that writs cannot be issued where enforcement is uncertain, refraining from enforcement watch and directing the corporation to endeavour to provide the supply without attaching contempt sanctions for default.
What did the court decide?
Petitioner directed to approach higher authorities if default occurs; no enforceable court order issued; TANGEDCO directed to endeavour to provide supply.
