| The appellant, Sri Abdul Khayoom is a tenant of the premises having service connection with consumer No. 36423 under Electrical Section, Chelari. The service connection was registered in favour Sri Subramanyian M.K., Anjalungal House, Parambilpeedika with a connected load of 600 Watts under LT VII B tariff. On 26-05-2015, the officials of KSEB Limited conducted an inspection in the premises of the appellant and it was detected that a total load of 2150 Watts and the premises was being used for running a dental clinic. Based on the inspection, a provisional bill amounting to Rs. 38,085.00 was issued on 27-05-2015 towards the tariff misuse as per Section 126 of Electricity Act, 2003.
Aggrieved against this, the appellant filed a complaint before the CGRF, Northern Region, Kozhikode. The CGRF dismissed the petition vide order dated 27-10-2015 by holding that the case is not maintainable as the disputed bill was issued as per Section 126 of the Electricity Act, 2003. Against the decisions of the CGRF, the appellant has approached this Authority with this appeal petition on 01-12-2015.
The action on the part of respondent without complying with the legal formalities amounts to arbitrariness and denial of natural justice. Hence the penal bill issued for Rs. 38,085.00 is quashed. Appeal is admitted. CGRF order in OP No. 50/2015-16 dated 27-12-2015 is set aside. No order as to costs. |
