Page3 of 5

2.The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that no water connection had been granted to the first respondent herein so far and, therefore, there is no question of restoration of the water connection. However, the first respondent herein has applied afresh for a new water connection upon payment of the requisite fee. In view of the above, the order passed by this Court in W.P.No.32047 of 2007 is modified to the effect that no direction for restoration of the water connection shall arise, as no water connection had been granted to the first respondent herein. Since the first respondent has applied afresh for a new water connection, the petitioners herein are directed to consider the said application in accordance with law.

3.In view of the above, this Writ Miscellaneous Petition stands modified. 20-08-2026 Index: Yes/No Speaking/Non-speaking order AH To
