| The appellant runs a company named 'Sapthagiri Refineries' under Electrical Section, Kozhinjampara, having an LT Three Phase connection with Consumer No. 12380 under LT IV A tariff. Consequent to an inspection conducted by the APTS team in the premises of the appellant on 10-09-2015 found that the appellant’s unit is carrying out filtering and packing and associated activities using extracted oil brought from outside. As per the tariff order the units carrying out filtering and packing and other associated activities using extracted oil brought from outside are classified under LT VII A tariff.
Based on the above findings tariff of the appellant was changed from LT IV A to LT VII A and issued a short assessment bill for an amount of Rs.7,27,836.00. Aggrieved against this, the appellant approached the Consumer Grievance Redressal Forum (Northern Region), Kozhikode by filing a complaint No. 77/2015-16 which was dismissed vide order dated 07-12-2015. Not satisfied with the above decisions of CGRF the appellant approached this Authority with this appeal petition.
If a portion of manufacturing process is involved in a unit, such units cannot be treated as a commercial one. Hence there is no justification in reassigning the tariff of the appellant to commercial on the arguments that tariff order says that units carrying out filtering and packing and other associated activities using extracted oil brought from outside are included in commercial tariff. The respondent is directed to reassign the tariff to industrial and short assessment bill issued for Rs. 7,27,836.00 is quashed. Appeal petition is admitted and order of CGRF is set aside. No order as to costs. |
