Restoration of electricity supply to occupied premises allowed subject to payment of necessary expenses and charges.

A direction was considered for restoration of electricity supply to premises occupied and possessed by the applicants after the company in liquidation had vacated them. The court noted that the applicants claimed ownership and possession, and that no prejudice would be caused to the Official Liquidator if restoration instructions were issued, provided the applicants bore the necessary expenses and charges. The application was allowed to that extent, and the Official Liquidator was directed to issue instructions for restoration of power supply on that condition.
