2. According to the learned counsel appearing for the writ

petitioner, even though the electricity poll is outside his property, the

electrical lines are running through his property, which are obstructing

construction activities. Since he wants to put up the construction on the

property, he made a representation to the respondents for relocating the

same. However, the said request has been rejected by the fourth

respondent on the ground that the electricity service connections are

being drawn only through the said pole.

3. The learned Standing Counsel appearing for the respondents 1

to 3 submitted that if the petitioner makes any fresh application under

DWC Scheme, depending upon feasibility, the relocation of the

electricity pole would be considered.

4. It is made clear that the service connection to the fourth

respondent's property should not be affected in any manner.
