| The appellant is running an ice production unit in the name and style "Ice Sellers Sannadha Sangam" and is an industrial consumer (LT IV A tariff) having a three phase connection with consumer no. 1145717014951 under Electrical Section, Chavara. On 23-02-2015 APTS team Thiruvalla inspected the premises of the appellant along with Sub Engineer, Electrical Section, Chavara who prepared a mahazar stating that 3rd phase of the meter is not recording the actual consumption due to the defect in the CT meter connection and also detected that the meter is recording only 2/3rd of the total consumption.
Hence a short assessment bill dated 21-05-2015 for Rs. 9,73,097.00 (Nine Lakhs seventy three thousand and ninety seven only) for the period from 3/2014 to 2/2015 was served on the appellant on 25-05-2015. Aggrieved against this, the appellant approached the Consumer Grievance Redressal Forum (South), Kottarakkara by filing a complaint No. 1530/2015 which was dismissed vide order dated 07-11-2015. Still aggrieved with the above decisions of CGRF the appellant has approached this Authority with this appeal petition.
In view of the above discussions it can be concluded that the short assessment issued for a period of one year from 03/2014 to 02/2015 is without any valid grounds and hence decided to quash the same. The respondent is directed to revise the assessment based on the average consumption for the 3 billing cycles after the rectification of defects in the CT connections for a maximum period of 2 billing cycles as per Regulation 125 of Supply Code, 2014.
Having concluded and decided as above it is ordered accordingly. The appeal petition is found having some merits and is admitted. CGRF order in OP No. 1530/2015 dated 07-11-2015 is set aside. No order as to costs. |
