The petitioner contends that the learned Civil Judge Court had passed an order on September 10, 2025 observing that the petitioner (plaintiff) may pursue installation of a sub-meter at her parental residence ‘to ensure lawful supply of electricity’. It is submitted that despite such order having been passed the WBSEDCL authorities have not effected electricity supply in favour of the petitioner. 3. Mr. Chattopadhayay, learned advocate appearing for the WBSEDCL authorities submits that the distribution licensee is not a party to the suit. It is further submitted that installation of sub-meter 2 does not fall within the preview of the WBSEDCL authorities inasmuch as they install meters (and not sub-meters) upon the applicant being found entitled to supply of electricity. 4. It is further submitted that no application for connection of electricity has been made by the petitioner as yet. 5. Mr. Sur, learned advocate appearing for the respondent nos. 4 and 5 submits that a suit for partition has been filed by the petitioner against the other co-shares in respect of the said property and that excepting the respondent nos. 4 and 5, the other co-shares have not added as a party. 6. Heard the learned advocates appearing for the respective parties and considered material on record. 7. It is evident that the petitioner is yet to make any application for grant of electricity connection in her favour at the relevant premises.
