JUDGMENT K. Kannan, J. 1. There is already a case in respect of the same subject matter in which notice has been issued in CWP No. 13886 of 2014. I direct the matter to be suo motu advanced today in spite of the fact that the case has been fixed for hearing on 04.11.2014. Since the counsel for the petitioner is also representing the said petition, with his consent the writ petition in CWP No. 13886 of 2014 is also being taken up along with other connected cases. In all the petitions, the contention is that stone crushers which are being operated are sought to be brought under a new decision of the authorities under the Power Corporation threatening disconnection of electricity if the stone crushers are operated without licences and without registration under the Mining Officer, Pathankot. The policy guideline would set forth through Clause 7 that the sections of Punjab Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Act, 1957 and the relevant rules are applicable. The counsel would himself refer me to the relevant provision that contemplates an action against a person who has a stone crusher without licence could be liable for a penalty which may extend to two years and with fine. The argument is that, if at all, the respective petitioners could be only prosecuted for the offences and imposed with penalties and no action could be taken for withdrawing electricity connection. 2. Electricity connection which is issued for industries is for a commercial purpose. A commercial purpose ought to conform to the regulatory laws. The provision for grant of electricity cannot be treated in isolation. The Electricity Board cannot be compelled to do any act which would be an offence elsewhere under some other enactment. If continuance of a stone crusher without a licence will constitute an offence under the Act of 1957 and relevant Rules, supply of electricity for such stone crusher would also be impermissible. 3. Electricity Supply Instructions Manual has been prepared in compliance of condition No. 50 and Conditions of supply issued under the Electricity Supply Instruction Manual of 2007 sets out in clause 7.2 the site of stone crushers. The regulation has been framed in consultation with the Punjab Pollution Control Board, Patiala vide notification dated 24.04.1996. 3. Electricity Supply Instructions Manual has been prepared in compliance of condition No. 50 and Conditions of supply issued under the Electricity Supply Instruction Manual of 2007 sets out in clause 7.2 the site of stone crushers. The regulation has been framed in consultation with the Punjab Pollution Control Board, Patiala vide notification dated 24.04.1996. The places where a stone crusher could be located and operations could be carried on are now, therefore, regulated also through the Pollution Control Board and the Electricity Board will, therefore, be required to examine that the Rules of Punjab Pollution Control Board are also duly complied with before electricity connection could be given. The counsel states that PCB sanction has been obtained. I cannot vouch for such an assertion but the impugned notice is on another ground requiring licensing and registration with competent authorities. Even a provision for temporary electricity requires the Electricity Board to demand that the consumer obtains necessary licence and permission from the local authority concerned and from such other competent authorities under the Act. This is expressly provided through Clause 8 of the Electricity Supply Instructions Manual. The decision taken to disconnect supply in cases where there was no due licensing of the stone crusher was, therefore, an appropriate policy which has a basis to ensure that all the regulatory laws are appropriately complied with, before a stone crusher enjoys the benefit of its commercial activity. I will find no cause for intervention. All the writ petitions are dismissed. Petition dismissed.
