ORDER

          The above named complainant, a person with 59% loco motor disability, vide his complaint dated 03.03.2016 submitted that he is a R/o Plot No. 38, Pratap Enclave, Gurdwara Road, Mangal Bazar Gali, Mohan Garden, New Delhi-110059.  He has not been provided an electric connection so far.  The reason for the same appears to be that the plot was purchased in the name of his father for which the GPA was done in the name of the wife of his younger brother.  The DGM who he approached, told him to get a letter from the Court of Commissioner for Persons with Disabilities because as per the order of Hon’ble High Court dated 27.01.2016, electric connection can be given to a person who has Ration Card, Identity Proof, Telephone or any other such proof at the address.  The complainant requested that he be provided with the electric and water connection in his house.

2.      The complaint was taken up with the respondents vide communication dated 17.03.2016 followed by reminder dated 08.04.2016.  DGM (D) VKP vide his letter dated 29.03.2016 informed that the complainant has been asked to complete commercial formalities for the new connection.  After completion of the same, BSES will release the new connection as early as possible.

3.      As the complainant did not get the electric and water connections, hearings were also held in the matter.  Thereafter, BSES informed that an electric meter has been installed on 12.08.2016 against CA No.151918348 at the residence of the complainant vide letter dated 23.08.2016.  As regards the water connection, the complainant informed during the hearing that he was also in the process of completing the necessary formalities for water connection.  He has not approached this Court thereafter.  As the water connection can be installed only after completion of the necessary formalities by the complainant and Delhi Jal Board has not denied him the same.  The complaint is closed.

              Given under my hand and the seal of the Court this 2nd  day of August, 2017.
