Summary:
So we made a representation on May 24 to the Superintendent Engineer - Operation, North Chennai TANGEDCO requesting to switch off the power supply. Admitting the plea, Justice M.
Duraiswamy ordered notice to the TANGEDCO returnable by one week. "It was necessary to switch off the power supply to avoid any untoward incident as the same would bind on us and would not be compensated. But during the transit, the vehicle had to be stopped at MFL junction in the Minjur-Ponneri road since the lorry has to cross high tension tower line at the junction. But to the shock and surprise, the department directed us to remit Rs 54.16 lakh as shut down charges," the petitioner added.Pointing out that the deputy director of the space centre has also made a similar request which was also not considered by TANGEDCO, the petitioner claimed that the delay in transportation would affect the commissioning schedule of space projects.The petitioner wanted the court to direct the authorities concerned to immediately shut down the power enabling safe transit of the chambers..
