Pursuant to court notice, Shahnawaz
Shaikh, Assistant in the office of XEN, SEPCO Division and Safdar Ali Malik,
SDC in SDO Office, Ghotki have shown appearance and submit that since number of
residents of village Adloo Machi, Ghotki, who were being supplied electricity
through one transformer, were not making payment of electricity dues since long,
therefore, such transformer was removed. However, it has been stated that if
this Hon’ble Court may direct, the transformer will be reinstalled by tomorrow
and the electric connections of the consumers who were making payment of their
electricity dues regularly will be restored immediately. As regards connections
in respect of the electricity bills, defaulters will be restored only after
clearance of their outstanding dues.
Learned counsel for the petitioners
submits that the petitioners before this Court are not the defaulters in
respect of their electricity bills who have been deprived with the electricity
in view of default by some other consumers, therefore, respondents may be
directed to reinstall the electric transformer immediately, where after, the
electricity connections of petitioners and other consumers who have not
defaulted or may clear their outstanding electricity bills, shall be restored
promptly.
Accordingly, instant petition stands
disposed of with directions to the respondents to reinstall the electricity transformer
at village Adloo Machi, by tomorrow, and thereafter, to restore the electricity
connections of the petitioners/consumers who are making regular payments of
their electricity dues. However, the electricity connections in respect of the
consumers who are continuously defaulting in payment of their electricity dues
may be restored after their clearance of outstanding electricity bills or on
their making payment of outstanding amount in installments, if allowed by SEPCO
authorities, as per law rules or policy.
