6. Admittedly, the lands of the petitioners are part of the authorized ayacut of Gottivada left and right main canals of STVPR Project and are entitled to draw water from the said project under the provisions of the Act. They are also members of the Gottivada Water Users Association constituted under the A.P. Farmers Management of Irrigation Systems Act, 1997. The supply of power is regulated by respondents 6 and 7. The actions and jurisdictions of the Irrigation Department are different from that of respondents 6 and 7, who are the suppliers of energy. On the directions of the officials of Irrigation Department, the respondents 6 and 7 cannot take action, as the conditions of Supply are governed by certain terms and conditions of supply between the consumers and the supplier. If the respondents 4 and 5 on the one hand and respondents 6 and 7 are on the other hand have any actionable claim against the petitioners, they are entitled to take action under respective provisions of law, but not collusively without issuing any notice to the petitioners. The main grievance of the petitioner is centred around the disconnection of power supply to their pump sets. If the installation of pump sets and the drawal of water are objectionable to the respondents 4 and 5, they can issue appropriate notices to the petitioners and take separate action, but they cannot direct the respondents 6 and 7 to disconnect the power. Similarly, respondents 6 and 7, if they notice any violation of terms and conditions of Supply, they can independently take action, but not at the dictates of respondents 4 and 5.
