Sri.Abdul Salam Haji, Madakkara, Cheruvathur, Thuruthi - P.O., Kasaragod – 671351. RESPONDENTS :- 1. Assistant Executive Engineer, Electrical Sub Division, KSEB Ltd, Pilicode, Kannur District. 2. Assistant Engineer, Electrical Section, KSEB Ltd., Pilicode, Kannur District. ORDER Case of the Petitioner:- The Petitioner Sri. A.P.Abdul Salam Haji, Cheruvathur Panchayath, Kasargod comes under ES Pilicode complaints that an HT post is erected very close to his building causing danger. The petitioner wishes to build the upper storey but the live line adjacent to the vicinity becomes an impediment. It is quite natural that the staff, workers and the merchants are scared of electric line. It is further alleged that the stay wire is firmly attached to the nearby pillar which is meant for the construction of first floor. This act of irresponsibility of the licensee cannot be justified. It can be very well seen that railway did not provide statutory clearance. Still the licensee drew the HT line without the consent of the party. The request of the petitioner is to take necessary action to remove the line so that the construction of the upstairs can be started at an early date. Version by the respondent;- The AEE inspected the site and his version is as follows. As mentioned in the complaint there is no stay wire tied to the pillar of the second floor under construction.
