The writ petition is filed seeking a Writ of Mandamus to consider the

petitioner’s representation dated 04.03.2026.

2. Upon hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner and perusing the

material records, it is seen that the grievance of the petitioner is that, although the

vendor, K.Ramasamy, had submitted a letter of no objection for change of the

electricity service connection in S.C.No.05234013563 FV5H in the name of the

petitioner, the same has not yet been effected. Therefore, the petitioner has filed

the present Writ Petition.

3. When the matter came up for hearing, the learned Standing Counsel

appearing on behalf of the respondents submitted that an objection had been

received from a third party, namely, Chinnapan.

conduct an enquiry and decide the matter in accordance with law.

5. In view of the above, the writ petition is disposed of on the following

terms:

(i) The second respondent shall take up the petitioner’s representation dated

04.03.2026, issue notice to the petitioner as well as to the third-party objector,

and decide the matter in accordance with law.

(ii) The decision shall be taken as expeditiously as possible and, in any
