| The appellant is a domestic consumer of electricity with consumer No.14818 under Electrical Section, Kovoor, Kozhikode. The energy meter in the premises of the consumer was alleged to be not working properly, resulting abnormal reading since 2014. The appellant had registered a complaint via email on 29-05-2014 and on 12-12-2014 requesting to replace the defective meter. The appellant took the matter before the CGRF, Kozhikode, requesting to replace the faulty meter and to review and adjust the amount charged, as the highest consumption was recorded, during the period since 2014, was due to the defective meter only. The Forum has disposed of the complaint vide Order No. OP 125/2017-18 dated 29-01-2018, by taking the following decision.
1) The respondent shall reassess the bimonthly consumption for a period of 12 months (6 spot bills) prior to meter replacement, taking of the average of the consumption recorded in the new meter for three bi monthly spot bills.
2) As the petitioner had already remitted the bi monthly spot bills for the above period, the Respondent shall revise the spot bills accordingly and adjust the excess amount if any, in the future bills. If the revised amount is more than the amount already paid by the petitioner, the Respondent shall not realize such amount. Aggrieved by the said order, the Appellant has filed the Appeal Petition, before this Authority.
In view of the factual position I don’t find any reason to interfere with the findings and decision taken by the CGRF, Kozhikode in this case and hence the order of CGRF is upheld. The respondent shall take the average consumption of 3 bi-months from 07-11-2017 for reassessment of 12 months prior to meter replacement and revise the spot bills accordingly and adjust the excess amount, if any, in the future bills. Having concluded and decided as above, it is ordered accordingly. No order on costs. |
