Complainant and opposite party absent. No representation. Counsel for the opposite party was heard on 29.01.2010. Opposite party's counsel submitted that the opposite party is ready for giving connection to the complainant's residence if the complainant produces the consent of the neighbouring property owner. The opposite party can apply for getting the consent through the District Collector only if the person applied for electric connection approaches and pays the special cash deposit. In this case the person applied for the electric connection is the pre-owner of the complainant's property. Hence the complainant is directed to obtain the consent of the neighbouring property owner or approach the opposite party with the applicant for paying special cash deposit. So the opposite party is directed to give electric connection to the complainant's residence within 15 days of the receipt of the consent of the neighbouring property owner. Otherwise if the applicant pays the special cash deposit, the opposite party is directed to apply for consent through District Collector within 30 days. Hence the petition dismissed.
