Regarding electricity power connection

The law clearly states that it is a mandatory requirement to have OC and proper approved construction plan by a competent authority for electricity connection.

Fundamental rights cannot be granted while you violate the law of the land and if you are considered as a non law abiding citizen.

Thank you for your reply sir. I have obtained Building plan approval. Build with decent set back but not as per the plan approved by Karnataka Government because practically not possible for smaller size plots. We are not aware of all these rules exists obtaining OC and CC.

What do you mean by "Karnataka Government is saying as per Supreme court order ......." ? Have you received any such communication from the Government? if so, what is the context for such a communication?

IN general, providing electric supply and connection is governed by the concerned Act and the rules made thereunder.

We are struggling without power connection for more than 9 months. We are getting higher power bills. Please refer the below YouTube link by Deputy CM. If we goto KERC Government controlled Act they are saying we need a Karnataka Government order. Almost lakhs of people struggling without power connection like me. Is there any solution for us get the power connection which is our basic rights. I have plan approval for my building but don't have any Occupancy certificate or Clearance certificate which is not aware by me. Earlier we used get the power connection with only Plan approval from PDO. Now suddenly rules have been changed after construction of my building.

Generally, an Occupancy Certificate (OC) and Completion Certificate (CC) are required for essential services like electricity in Karnataka, but recent government exemptions in Bengaluru now allow homes on plots up to 1,200 sq ft (ground+2/stilt+3 floors) to get electricity without an OC, provided they meet other conditions and pass verification, though large buildings and B Khata properties still need them. 

Have you applied for it and got your application rejected citing the reasons and is your house is built within 1200 sq ft?

If yes, then you can approach civil court with a suit for mandatory injunction and direction against the electricity department to provide you with the service connection  but you may have to comply with other requirements to provide the sdrvice connection and  documentary evidences before court.

Sir mine is BMRDA approved site. Still Government order not provided for Gram Panchayat locations. G+2 or stilt 3 is applicable only for GBA Limit.

You may please become aware that the BMRDA approval is only for layout formation (roads, parks, civic amenities).It does NOT automatically authorize building construction or exempt you from building approval / OC / CC requirements. Construction permission depends on local planning & building bye-laws applicable to the area.

You may also please note that as of now, no Government Order (GO) clearly empowers Gram Panchayats to sanction multi-storey buildings (G+2 / Stilt+3), or issue Completion Certificate (CC) or Occupancy Certificate (OC) for such buildings.  The Panchayats can generally permit only low-rise residential buildings (usually Ground or G+1, subject to local rules). Therefore, even if the site is BMRDA-approved, construction beyond GP’s legal competence becomes “unauthorized” in the eyes of utilities.

Now you assess your position and think about the next step to be taken in this regard instead of complicating the things and without attempting to get remedy to solve this situation.

Very well explained and advised by learned senior expert, nothing more to add.

As per the rule if PDO has permission providing approval for only G+1 then how can they approve G+2 building of mine for license copy and Blueprint. Even they did not guide us to obtain Occupancy certificate and clearance certificate mandatory. Earlier they were giving power connection for PDO approved plans. Difficult for us understand this Government.

Show relevant documents to a local prudent lawyer for proper analyses, professional advise and necessary proceeding.

If you are aggrieved by the decision of the electricity department you can approach high court with a writ petition seeking relief.

You may consult an advocate in the local practicing in high court and proceed as suggested.
