| The appellant, Sri Shahul Hameed, is a consumer under the jurisdiction of Electrical Section, Karunagappally (South). The appellant’s case is that an extremely dangerous High-Tension 11 kV line which is passing through densely populated residential area from the KIP transformer to Railway Station Road in the 13th Division of Karunagappally Municipality. It is alleged that as the above High Tension line is in hazardous situation due to dilapidated posts and excessively sagging of bare conductors, the then Executive Engineer proposed an alternative route to shift the line during 2010-2011 and the then Chief Engineer approved the project and the preliminary works were started.
The appellant further argued that the project got delayed due to some unknown reasons. By that time, some persons purchased the paddy fields and nearby lands and built office of their construction company at the point where the 11 kV line passing through paddy fields meets the railway station road. The appellant suspects that the KSEB officials are hand in gloves with the land mafia and against for the decommissioning the 11 kV line through the densely populated area. So the appellant along with the residents of that area filed a complaint before the Consumer Grievance Redressal Forum [South], Kottarakara. But the Forum dismissed their complaint vide order dated 30-09-2016. Aggrieved against this, the appellant has submitted this appeal petition before this Authority.
Under the above mentioned circumstances, it is held that in the case of appellant and others are of dire need for shifting the feeder they can approach the licensee expressing their willingness to pay the labour charges for the shifting work. In that event, the respondent shall consider the entire issue and find out a feasible route to shift the feeder passing through the appellant’s area with minimum labour charges. However, it is made clear that the 11 kV feeder passing through the thickly populated area must be maintained as per standards without any delay.
The appeal petition is disposed of accordingly. The order of CGRF in OP No. 139/2016 dated 30-09-2016 is set aside. No order as to costs. |
