Suffice it to note that the BESCOM Authorities had issued a notice on 30.05.2024 for removal of the transformer that has been installed by the fourth respondent in the marginal land under Self Execution Scheme. The fourth respondent questioned the same before this Court in W.P.No.16862/2024. Taking note of the fact that a civil dispute was pending in O.S.No.488/2021 on the file of Senior Civil Judge and JMFC, Kolar, this Court disposed of the petition vide order dated 18.12.2024 and quashed the notice. Hence, the relief sought by the petitioner to disconnect and shift the transformer cannot be accorded in the present Writ Petition. The Writ Petition is devoid of merits and is liable to be rejected. 5. Resultantly, the Writ Petition is rejected. Since the Writ Petition is rejected at the stage of preliminary hearing, there is no need to issue notice to respondent No.4. Sd/- (JYOTI MULIMANI) JUDGE TKN List No.: 1 Sl No.: 1
