JUDGEMENT
-
(1.) This application under Article 227 of the Constitution of India has been
filed by one Ashim Das challenging the order No.71 dated 1.10.2010 passed by
the learned Civil Judge (Junior Division), 1st
Court at Bankura in Title Suit No.58
of 2006.
(2.) It would appear that the present petitioner as plaintiff of the suit by filing
an application in the Court below prayed for installation of separate electric
connection in the 'Kha' Schedule Property which happens to be part of 'Ka'
Schedule Property, but the learned Court below upon hearing both sides and also
considering the circumstances rejected the petitioner's application for electric
connection.
(3.) Being aggrieved by and dissatisfied with the order impugned, petitioner has
come up before this Court praying for setting aside the said order and for
obtaining an order of electric connection as prayed for in the Court below.
Mr. P.P.Roy, learned Counsel appearing for the petitioner referring to some
documents being copy of rent receipt in respect of Holding No.15 for the period
from 17.9.2004 to 17.9.2005 at the rate of Rs.500/- (Rupees Five Hundred) per
month issued by one Bijay Krishna Das as also municipal tax receipt dated
16.8.2007 as well as on receipt in the name of Bijay Das issued by Bankura
Municipality on 19.1.2007 emphatically urges that his client being the occupier
of the Holding No.15 of 'Kha' Schedule Property which is the part of the 'Ka'
Schedule Property is entitled to have electric connection for the sake of carrying
on his business on electrical goods therein. In support of his contention he has
drawn this Court's attention to the contents of provision laid down in Section 43
of the Electricity Act, 2003, and strongly contends that in view of the position of
law laid down in said Section, his client being the occupier of the premises
referred to above is entitled to have electric connection. Further in support of his
contention he has relied upon a decision 2009 2 CalHN 325 and strongly submits that learned Court below while passing the order
rejecting the prayer for electric connection committed mistake and accordingly
the order impugned needs to be set aside and his client may be allowed to have
electric connection as prayed for.;
