1. The State of Telangana, and others

ORDER:

The petitioner is the owner of the property to an extent of Ac.0-10

guntas (1210 square yards) in Survey No.204 of Nemaragomula village, Bibinagar mandal, Yadadri-Bhongir District, having purchased the same from M/s Haryana Steel Centers, vide registered Sale Deed No.6454 of 2019. It is the grievance of the petitioner that he made an application to the 2^nd respondent-TGSPDCL for new electricity connection on 22.11.2019, however, the respondent-TGSPDCL has not taken any action to provide new connection on the ground that there are electricity dues that have not been cleared by M/s Haryana Steel Centers. It is the contention of the petitioner that the unpaid electricity dues, if any, by the previous owner of the property cannot be imposed on the petitioner and such clearance of electricity dues

cannot be a pre-condition for providing new electricity connection.
