Considering the law on the subject and the order proposed to be passed, issuance of notice to the opposite parties no. 5 to 7 is dispensed with. 3.

Nooruz Zaman vs. Madhyanchal Vidyut Vitaran Nigam Ltc. and others) in the case of another flat owner. He says that the facts are similar. However, counsel for the electricity corporation says that indemnity bond has not been submitted by the petitioner. The petitioner claims to be tenant of the premises in question and that he is in possession of the same. Some proceedings are pending before the Rent Tribunal. 4. However, the petitioner's counsel relies upon the judgment of this court in the case of Seema Mansoor vs. U.P. Power Corporation Ltd. and Ors; (2015) 1 All LJ 44 and the judgment of Hon'ble the Supreme Court in Sri Chandu Khamaru vs. Nayan Malik & Ors.; (2011) 12 SCC 314 to claim separate connection. 5. Subject to an inquiry as to tenancy and possession of the petitioner of the premises in question, if an indemnity bond is submitted by the petitioner, then, the concerned opposite party shall process the same for grant of separate electricity connection as per rules, especially Para 4.4 of the U.P. Electricity Supply Code, 2005. This exercise shall be completed at the earliest, say, within a period of four weeks. 6. It is however made clear that our order shall not confer any right of possession or title in respect of the premises in question in favour of the petitioner nor will it prejudice the opposite parties no. 5 to 7 in any proceedings which may be pending in respect of the premises in question or may be initiated hereinafter. 7. The writ petition is disposed of. [Om Prakash Shukla, J.] [Rajan Roy, J.] Order Date :- 12.3.2025 Santosh/- Digitally signed by :- SANTOSH KUMAR High Court of Judicature at Allahabad, Lucknow Bench
