Petitioners sought electricity connections to their houses, alleging arbitrary rejection by the power distribution company. With an interim order dated 16.04.2018 in I.A. No. 1 of 2018 already operating in their favour, counsel for both sides agreed no further orders were needed; the writ petition was closed without costs.
