              Dated this the 25th day of June, 2015


                           JUDGMENT

The electricity supply line can be shifted even beyond the boundaries of a property. The power is abundant under the Works of Licensees Rules, 2006. The restriction to be within the boundaries of the property is only under Section 17 of the Indian Telegraph Act. The Works of Licensees Rules have obviously been lost sight of by the second respondent. The decision in Gopinathan Nair Vs. The Kerala State Electricity Board [2015 (2) KLT 947] is apposite.

2. The question remains as to whether the petitioner has made out a case for shifting. There is no proper consideration of that issue by the second respondent on the basis of the relevant inputs. I quash Ext.P6 order and direct the second respondent to reconsider the issue. The same shall be done with notice to the petitioner and respondents 4 to 6 within two months.

The Writ Petition is disposed of.
