JUDGMENT 1. Heard the learned counsel appearing for the petitioner, as well as the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the first respondent. 2. At this stage of the hearing of the writ petition, the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the first respondent had submitted that the first respondent would give the electricity service connection, in the name of the petitioner, in respect of the property in question, as per Regulation 27(4) of the Tamil Nadu Electricity Distribution Code, 2004, within a specified time. 3. In view of the submissions made by the learned counsels appearing on behalf of the parties concerned, and in view of the records available, the the first respondent is directed to grant electricity service connection to the petitioner, as prayed for by her, in the present writ petition, under Regulation 27(4) of the Tamil Nadu Electricity Distribution Code, 2004, on her submitting the necessary application and on production of the required records, and on payment of the charges due to be paid by her, for the grant of the electricity service connection. On the petitioner fulfilling the necessary requirements, the first respondent is to grant the electricity service connection, within a period of eight weeks thereafter. 4. 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 she had established her 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, with the above directions. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petitions are closed.
