(ii) That writ of mandamus may kindly be issued, directing the respondents Board to install the said electricity line on the border of land of son of the 2 petitioner after removing the same from the middle of the land, because without doing so, the sons of the petitioner cannot construct their houses over their own land.” 2. When the matter was listed on 27.06.2025, the following order was passed:- “Having heard learned counsel for the petitioner and having perused the averments made in the writ petition, this Court is of the considered view that the present petition is not maintainable as the petitioner is not the owner of the land vis-à-vis which the relief is being claimed by him.
