Issue for consideration

Whether the action of the respondents in disconnecting electricity to the petitioner's service connection bearing No. 2230000213 in Survey No. 129 of Ogipur village, Tandur Mandal, Vikarabad District, basing on Lr.No.6045/Q/2009 dated 03.02.2018 issued by the 3rd respondent to the 2nd respondent, was illegal, arbitrary and violative of Articles 14 and 19(1)(g) of the Constitution of India and of the principles of natural justice. (Raised by the prayer; not adjudicated on merits, the petition being disposed of on the ground that supply stood restored.)
