Managing Director And 7 Others Counsel for Petitioner :- Abhishek Srivastava,Atharva Arya,Vinay Kumar Verma Counsel for Respondent :- Aprajita Bansal Hon'ble Mrs. Sangeeta Chandra,J. Hon'ble Brij Raj Singh,J. 1. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, learned Standing Counsel appearing on behalf of the State Respondents and Sri Karan Agarwal, Advocate, holding brief of Ms. Aprajita Bansal, learned counsel representing the Madhyanchal Vidyut Vitran Nigam Ltd. 2. In view of the orders proposed to be passed, issuance of notice to respondent nos.5 to 8 is dispensed with. 3. It is the case of the petitioner that the petitioner applied on 03.12.2024 for a new electricity connection for a private tubewell before the Sub Divisional Officer, M.V.V.N.L. and completed all formalities. The respondent no.4 granted electricity connection. The petitioner has paid the requisite fee for connection on 24.12.2024. Despite completing all formalities, the electricity line has not been laid down for his private tube well connection. Acknowledgement has also been given by the Assistant Engineer of payment being made of the Project Estimate which was given to the petitioner for laying down of new line, yet the respondents are not doing anything in the matter. 4. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the M.V.V.N.L. has stated that from a perusal of the pleadings on record it is evident that respondent nos.5 to 8 have not given No Objection Certificate to the officials of the M.V.V.N.L. allowing them to take the electricity line over the fields belonging to them. 5. Learned Counsel for the petitioner, at this stage, says that petitioner is ready that a re- routing be done and a fresh estimate be given to the petitioner which he is agreeing to pay for installation of electricity line to his private tubewell. 6. Learned counsel for the petitioner has also pointed out page-29 of the paper-book where he says that the petitioner has submitted a map/ route map to the Sub Divisional Officer, M.V.V.N.L, the respondent no.4, which avoids the fields of respondent nos.5 to 8, yet no action has been taken in the matter. 7. This petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondent no.4 to take an appropriate decision on the application of the petitioner dated 23.06.2025 and carve out a suitable route for laying down of electricity line. In case this route is different from the earlier proposed route, the additional expenses shall be borne by the petitioner if the estimate regarding the same is given to the petitioner within a period of three weeks from the date a certified copy of this order is produced before him.
