(Delivered by the Hon'ble Chief Justice)

We have heard Mr.M.Muruganantham, learned counsel for the

appellant and Mr.P.Muthukumar, learned State Government Pleader,

assisted by Mrs.R.Anitha, learned Special Government Pleader for

the respondents.

2. The appellant has filed the writ petition seeking a direction

to provide drinking water pipe connection to the appellant's home

under the Athikadavu Drinking Water Scheme.

3. Learned Single Judge considering that there is acute water

shortage held that individual pipeline cannot be given to a particular

home. The actual requirement in the village is 216480 litres per

day, however the actual supply is only 177140 litres per day and, as

__________

such, a common connection is provided to every 10 homes. The

learned Single Judge has also granted liberty to the appellant to

renew his request for getting appropriate water connection if the

third respondent has adequate supply of water through Athikadavu

Drinking Water Scheme or any other scheme.

4. In the light of liberty granted, the appellant may make a

representation to the respondent authority, which the respondent

authority shall consider on its own merits.

The writ appeal is disposed of accordingly. There will be no

order as to costs. Consequently, C.M.P.No.13822 of 2023 is closed.
