| The appellant is having an industrial service connection (LT-IV tariff) for manufacturing of Rubber Waste Powder with consumer No. 6787 under Electrical Section, Nattakom. While so on 09-05-2006, the APTS of KSEB Kottayam conducted an inspection in the premises and found that one phase of the 3 phase CT meter was not recording energy consumption due to the defect of CT connected in that phase. Accordingly, the appellant was served with a short assessment bill for Rs. 1,67,261.00 for the period from November 2005 to April 2006. The appellant lodged complaint before the Assessing Officer, the Assistant Engineer, against the said assessment on 31-01-2006. But the Assistant Engineer directed the appellant to remit 1/3rd of the assessed bill and to file appeal before the Deputy Chief Engineer, APTS, HQ, Thiruvananthapuram.
Aggrieved by the decision of the Assistant Engineer, the appellant filed WP(C) No. 15153/2006 before Hon'ble High Court. The Hon’ble High Court vide judgement dated 12-06-2006 directed CGRF, KSEB Ltd. to hear the complaint and dispose the same. The CGRF, Kottarakkara dismissed the complaint filed by the appellant as per order dated 14-07-2006. Aggrieved by the order of CGRF, Kottarakkara, the appellant filed WP(C) No. 23780/2006 before the Hon'ble High Court and the petition was disposed by the Hon'ble High Court vide judgement dated 16-08-2016. In the judgment dated 16-08-2016, the Court directed the appellant to approach this Authority for redressal of his grievances. Accordingly, the appellant has submitted the appeal petition before this Authority.
In view of the above observations, it is hereby ordered that the short assessment bill issued stands cancelled. However, it is made clear that the respondent is directed to reassess the appellant for the period from March 2006 to 16-05-2006 on the basis of the average consumption of the succeeding six months after rectification of defective CT. The appeal is disposed of accordingly. No order as to costs. |
