Orders
The High Court at Calcutta (Port Blair Circuit) disposed of the writ petition by directing the electricity authority to decide the petitioner's pending electricity connection application within two weeks after giving him a hearing. The court held that the 2+ year delay in processing the application constituted arbitrary inaction and that electricity is essential for dignified living and cannot be indefinitely withheld, though it left the eligibility determination to the authority's reasoned decision. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
