JUDGMENT

Petitioner challenges Ext.P11 order passed by the Additional District Magistrate (ADM) dated 08.04.2022. 2. Petitioner had earlier approached this Court by filing W.P.(C) No.8400 of 2022, wherein by judgment dated 14.03.2022, the application preferred by the petitioner under Section 17 (2) of the Indian Telegraph Act , 1885, against the drawing of the 110 KV electric line across his residential property was directed to be considered by the District Magistrate after hearing the petitioner. Pursuant to the above, Ext.P11 order was passed.

3. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that his property is measuring only 6¾ cents and the upgradation of the existing line will cause serious difficulties to him, including his right to make constructions in the future. The ADM, after considering the contentions of the petitioner, found that the lines were initially drawn in the 70s after getting consent from the father of the petitioner.
