The Executive Engineer, Electricity Urban Distribution Division-ll, Saharanpur by his letter No. 413/86572 dated 18.7.2007 sanctioned line order No. 01025, for the connection. The respondent No. 3 Sri Shiv Pal Singh Yadav had deposited the requisite amount of Rs. 48,575/- for electricity connection for the tube-well, vide receipt No. 8/164104 dated 18.9.2007. The department did not draw electricity line and instal meter for the reason, that electricity supply to the tube-well of the respondent was to be made from Kailashpur Electricity Sub- Centre, which was under the Electricity Distribution Division-ll, Saharanpur; after the re-demarcation of the area, the tube-well of the petitioner has now fallen under the 66 KV Sub Station, Janakpuri, which falls under the Electricity Urban Distribution Division-ll, Saharanpur, vide letter No. 4187 dated of the Executive Engineer, Electricity Urban Distribution Division-ll, Saharanpur.;
