MUHAMMAD ASLAM Versus WAPDA

The original electric connection was in the name of Muhammad Akram son of Abdul Haq who has since died.

2. After the death of Muhammad Akram, now an application has been moved on behalf of Muhammad Aslam and two others. The land held by Muhammad Akram deceased was only eight acres in whose favour this connection was sanctioned. The mere fact that the persons on whom those eight acres have devolved have other holdings would not change the nature of the contract entered into by Muhammad Akram with WAPDA. If the petitioners have their own genuine need they may approach the WAPDA in that behalf in their own independent right but nothing can be based on the rights created on contract in favour of Muhammad Akram. This petition is now being conceded to by the learned counsel for the petitioners.

3. The further grievance of the petitioners is that the WAPDA authorities are trying to indulge into favouritism by not charging the proper dues from respondent No. 4. This is a matter involving the revenue of the WAPDA and it is-to be looked into by the WAPDA authorities themselves at their own departmental level. The petitioners would have no locus standi in the matter.

4. With these observations, this writ petition is hereby disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs.

K.M.A. Petition disposed of.
