| The appellant, Sri Abdul Razak Aanathan, is having a 3 phase service connection issued for industrial purpose, under Electrical Section, Valluvambram, Malappuram, with consumer No: 11392. The appellant’s industry is named as ‘AMH Rice, Flour and Oil Mill’ and having a connected load of 11490 Watts. While being so, the appellant made a written complaint to the Assistant Engineer to test the meter as the energy meter was recording abnormal consumption. Accordingly the meter was tested by installing a standard reference meter and found that the existing meter is recording more than the actual consumption. So the meter was replaced with a new one on 19-01-2016. The energy usage in subsequent months after 1/2016 also showed considerable decrease in consumption.
The CGRF, Kozhikode, before whom the petition was filed by the appellant to get his bills revised from 6/2014 onwards and refund of excess amount collected, has ordered to revise the monthly bills during the period from 05/2015 to 01/2016 on the basis of average of 3 billing cycles after the replacement of faulty meter, vide Order No. 67/2016-17 dated 15-10-2016. The appellant is challenging the above decision of the CGRF especially on the period of billing from 05/2015 to 01/2016 and now demands the revision of bills with effect from 6/2014 to 01/2016. Feeling aggrieved against the order dated 15th day of October 2016 in OP No: 67/2016-17 of CGRF, Kozhikode, this appeal petition is filed before this Authority.
In view of the above facts, this Authority didn’t find any reason to intervene with the findings of the Forum in this regard. However, the respondent is directed to refund the amount with interest at bank rate as per Regulation 134(3) of Supply Code, 2014.
The appeal is disposed of accordingly. The order of CGRF in OP No. 67/2016-17 dated 15-10-2016 is modified to the extent as ordered. No order as to costs. |
