1. Heard Sri Arvind Kr. Mishra, learned counsel for the petitioners, learned Standing Counsel for respondents No. 1 & 2 and Sri Amarjeet Singh, learned counsel who has accepted notice on behalf of respondents No. 3 to 5. 2. It has been submitted by learned counsel for the petitioners that the petitioner No.1 is a co-tenure holder of Gata Nos. 403 and 405 and the electricity department i.e. respondents No. 3 to 5 are erecting electricity poles on the land owned by the petitioners, accordingly have approached this Court by means of the present petition, seeking direction to respondents No. 1 to 4 not to install electricity poles on land of the petitioner bearing Gata Nos. 403 & 405 situated at village Kailideeh, Raniganj, Pratapgarh. 3. Learned counsel for the respondents have submitted that even the petitioner in his representation dated 2.6.2025 given to the Sub Divisional Officer, Tehsil Raniganj, Pratapgarh, has himself admitted that the electric poles are sought to be erected on Gata No. 402 and the only dispute raised by the petitioners is that instead of erecting the poles on Gata No. 402, the respondents are erecting the same on Gata Nos. 403 & 405 in which petitioner No.1 is a co-tenure holder. 4. Accordingly, we find that the present dispute pertains to the location where the electric poles are to be erected. In this regard a representation has been given to the Executive Engineer, Purvanchal Vidyut Vitran Nigam Ltd., Pratapgarh on 6.6.2025. 5. We find it appropriate to dispose of this petition by issuing a direction to respondent No.3 to consider and decide the representation of the petitioner dated 6.6.2025 expeditiously in accordance with law. 6.
In case respondents No.3 finds that the dispute pertains to location of a particular plot No. 402 on which the electric poles
are to be erected, he shall take assistance of the Sub Divisional Officer who shall initiate proceeding under Section 24 of the U.P. Revenue Code, 2006 to identify the plot No. 402 on which the electric poles are to be erected. 7. With the aforesaid direction, the petition is disposed of.
