Judgment 1. Heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner, as well as the learned counsel appearing for the respondents 1 and 2. The Court notices issued to the third and the fourth respondents had been returned with the endorsement 'left'. 2. From the records found in the typed set of papers filed by the petitioner, this Court is convinced, prima facie, that the petitioner is in occupation of the property in question, even though certain objections had been raised by the respondents 3 and 4. Hence, the second respondent is directed to grant temporary electricity service connection to the petitioner, as prayed for by him, in the present writ petition, under Regulation 27(4) of the Tamil Nadu Electricity Distribution Code, 2004, on his submitting the necessary application and on production of the required records, and on payment of the charges due to be paid by him, for the grant of the electricity service connection. On the petitioner fulfilling the necessary requirements, the second respondent is to grant the electricity service connection, within a period of four weeks thereafter. 3. However, it is made clear that the grant of electricity service connection to the premises of the petitioner, by the respondent Tamil Nadu Electricity Board, shall not, in any way, vest any additional right or interest in the petitioner, in respect of the property in question. Further, it would not be open to the petitioner to claim that he had established his title, in respect of the property concerned, by obtaining the electricity service connection from the respondent Tamil Nadu Electricity Board. The writ petition is disposed of accordingly. No costs. Connected M.P.No.1 of 2012 is closed.
