In respect of the other separate portions in the said building, the petitioner applied for the service connection and the same has not been considered. Hence, the petitioner has come before this Court.

¶28

Even in the writ petition affidavit, the petitioner has not stated the details of the application submitted by him. The application filed by the petitioner has not been included in the typed set of papers. The petitioner has only filed legal notice issued on 19.09.2024. Even in the legal notice issued by the petitioner's counsel, the application details are not included. In such circumstances, this Court is not inclined to entertain the prayer sought for by the petitioner. Accordingly, the writ petition stands dismissed.

¶29

It is needless to say that it is for the petitioner to apply for electricity service connection by filing appropriate application. If any such application is filed, the same shall be considered by the competent authority in accordance with the law.
