The Electricity Supply to the Shops of Plaintiff were therefore, disconnected.
9. The Plaintiff states that the temporary arrangements of the Defendant No.2 failed and the electricity connection from the Shops of the Plaintiff was removed. The Plaintiff therefore started following up the matter with the help of her son Jaiprakash Dube with all the concerned departments and learnt that the shops of the Plaintiff were not shown in the approved plan of the saleable buildings since the Defendant No.3 had not adopted steps to get the amended plan approved from the MBC. The plan was required to be amended to include the buildings in which the Suit Shops are situated.

11. The Plaintiff states that the Defendant No.1 is bound to provide electricity connection to any premises described in section 2 (51) of the Electricity Act if an application is made.

The Plaintiff states that she has been deprived of the amenity which the Plaintiff is entitled to and the Defendant No.1 is liable to provide being the service provided in the locality in which the Shops of the Plaintiff are situate and cannot deny the same to the Plaintiff discriminately without any reason.
13. The Plaintiff states that since the Plaintiff peacefully continued to possess and occupy the Suit Shops even from the stage of the old hutment was having electricity connection and was never denied the amenities, the Plaintiff is now made to live in inhuman conditions without electricity in Urban City.
