| The appellant is running a plywood manufacturing unit named Kokkadan Plywoods, at Aimury, under the jurisdiction of Electrical Section, Kuruppampady having consumer number 15020, the tariff assigned is LT IV A and the sanctioned load is 81845 watts. While so on 04-10-2016, the APTS of KSEB conducted an inspection in the premises and found that the energy used in one phase (out of 3 phases) was not recording in the TOD meter from June 2016 onwards. Accordingly, the party was served with a provisional short assessment bill, assessing for the period of 06/2016 to 09/2016, when the meter was found recording less than the actual, so as to recover the unrecorded portion of energy, for Rs. 1,44,510/-. The consumer lodged complaint before the Assessing Officer, the Asst. Engineer, against the said assessment on 14-10-2016 and it was finalized to Rs.130802/- on 20-10-2016, after conducting a hearing by the Assistant Engineer on 17-10-2016. Being not satisfied with the decision of the AE, the consumer approached the CGRF, Ernakulam, with Petition No. 101/2016-17 and the Forum directed the respondent to revise the period from 26-08-2016 to 04-10-2016 and to issue revised bill accordingly vide its order dated 15-02-2017. Aggrieved by the decision, the appellant has submitted the Appeal petition before this Forum.
From the analysis done and the conclusions arrived at, which are detailed above, I take the following decisions.
1. The order dated 15-02-2017 issued by the CGRF, Central Region, in Petition No. 101/2016-17 is set aside.
2. The respondent is directed to revise the short assessment bills issued for the meter faulty period from 26-08-2016 to 04-10-2016 and for the CT faulty period from 18-11-2016 to 01-02-2017 based on the average consumption of the three billing cycles after the meter replacement on 01-02-2017.
3. The respondent is directed to revise the bill as decided above and shall issue to the consumer with thirty days time (due date) given for making
the payment.
Having concluded and decided as above, it is ordered accordingly. No order on costs. |
