Court refrained from addressing title disputes; it emphasized compliance with documentation requirements for electricity supply and maintained TGSPDCL's obligation under the Electricity Act.
A party must demonstrate lawful ownership or possession to obtain electricity connections; pending civil disputes cannot be overlooked by administrative authorities in granting such connections.
Electricity cannot be denied based on ownership disputes; distribution licensees have a statutory duty to supply electricity upon valid application irrespective of ongoing eviction proceedings.
Electricity connection cannot be granted without considering the objection of the person claiming ownership of the property, as it violates the principles of natural justice.
The court ruled that a power supply request cannot be granted due to ongoing land disputes and illegal construction, necessitating the resolution of title issues in civil court.
