JUDGMENT
The writ petition challenges the order dated 19.03.2012, passed by the Additional District Magistrate, Thiruvananthapuram, through which an electric line was permitted to be drawn to provide supply to the 4th respondent. This order is challenged by filing this writ petition on 06.03.2018.
2. The learned counsel appearing for the board submits that the line had already been drawn pursuant to the order impugned in this writ petition.
3. Taking note of the delay in challenging the impugned order, I am not inclined to interfere with the same at this distance of time.
The writ petition is dismissed.
