ORDER

¶24

This writ petition is filed with a prayer to direct the fourth respondent to

¶25

grant electricity supply to the premises situated in Survey No. 52/1A, Nelvoy Village, Vellore Taluk, and District, under service connection No. 20008230022567.

¶26

The grievance of the petitioner is that earlier, when the crusher unit

¶27

was run and it was closed down, the connection was surrendered. Now, the petitioner wants to restart the activities, but when the electricity supply was sought to be restored, the same has not been considered due to the objections of one of the co-owners.

¶28

This writ petition is disposed of at the admission stage, without

¶29

notice to the fifth respondent, as none of the rights of the parties are decided in the writ petition.

¶30

When the matter came up for admission, the learned counsel
