The learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners had stated that some of the petitioners are members of the Molasi Lift Irrigation Cooperative Society Limited (hereinafter called `the Society') and the other petitioners are not members of the said society, however, their parents were members of the said society. Due to the vagaries of the monsoon the members of the Society were drawing water from the Cauvery River for irrigating their agricultural lands. Due to certain regulations introduced by the Government of Tamilnadu many of the agriculturists in the area concerned, including the petitioners and their parents, had joined together to form the Society. After the Society had been registered it was provided with electricity service connection, in S.C.Nos.24 and 25. The members of the Society, who were having lands in a number of villages, were drawing water by using 55 electricity motors. The electricity service connections granted in the name of the Society was in existence for more than 23 years. 4. The learned counsel had further submitted that due to the illegal quarrying of the respondents 7 to 9, the electricity lines had been disturbed. Further, due to the barrage dam constructed by the Public Works Department there has been stagnation of water in the nearby lands. In such circumstances, the respondents 3 to 5 had disconnected the electricty service connections, in S.C.Nos.24 and 25, granted in the name of the Society.

Therefore, they were not in a position to utilize the water from the river as they could not install electrical poles, as well as the motor and pump sets. 6. The learned counsels appearing on behalf of the respondents had submitted that the petitioners have no locus standi to demand that the electricity service connections, in S.C.Nos.24 and 25, ought to be restored. The petitioners had not shown, by furnishing the relevant records, that they are members of the Molasi Lift Irrigation Cooperative Society Limited or that their parents were members of the said Society. Further, the electricity service connections were in the name of the Society and therefore, it is not open to a few members of the said Society to demand that the electricity service connections, in S.C.Nos.24 and 25, should be restored. It is for the Society to make an appropriate request to the authorities concerned for the restoration of the service connections in question. As such, the demand made by the petitioners, in the present writ petition, is devoid of merits and therefore, the writ petition is liable to be dismissed. 7.
