| The appellant, Sri George Joseph, is a consumer having service connection for conducting a computer centre with consumer number 8692 under the jurisdiction of Electrical Section, Paika. The appellant had complained many times before the KSEB authorities regarding supply interruption in his locality. Due to the power failure and the interruption caused heavy loss and damage to the computer equipments. Since the grievance of the appellant was not redressed, he approached the CGRF, Kottarakkara. The Forum disposed of the petition vide order No. 134/2016 dated 05-09-2016 directing the respondent to take necessary steps to avoid frequent supply interruption. Not satisfied with the works done by the licensee in compliance with the above order, the appellant has approached this Authority with this appeal petition.
In the result, the respondent is directed to complete the works as proposed on a war-footing basis for providing uninterrupted supply to the appellant along with similarly placed other consumers. The question of compensation of Rs. 2 Lakhs claimed by the appellant, this Authority is not empowered to take a decision as to the right of the appellant to claim compensation and to decide the amount of damage sustained by the appellant in this regard. That question is left open. The appellant is at liberty to approach the appropriate Forum for the damages if he so desires.
The order of the CGRF in order No. 134/2016 dated 05-09-2016 is upheld. No order as to costs. |
