| The Appellant is running a manufacturing unit of tyre retreading under Electrical Section, Krishnapuram bearing Consumer No. 5464 in industrial tariff (LT IVA) with connected load of 74 KW with ToD meter facility. While so, on 21-07-2017, the APTS of KSEBL, Kollam conducted an inspection in the premises and found that the energy used in one phase (out of 3 phases) was not recording in the meter. Accordingly, the appellant was served with a short assessment bill, for the non functioning of CT in R phase and Y phase partially., so as to recover the unrecorded portion of energy, for Rs. 41371/-. The appellant filed objection before the Assessing officer, the Asst. Engineer, against the said assessment. Being not satisfied with the decision of the Assistant Engineer, the consumer approached the CGRF, Central, Ernakulam, with Petition No. 66/2017-18 and the Forum disposed of the petition on 24-02-2018 upholding the decision of the respondent. Aggrieved by the decision in OP No. 66/2017-18, the appellant has submitted the Appeal petition before this Forum.
From the findings and conclusions arrived at as detailed above, I decide to set aside the short assessment bill amounting to Rs. 41371/- issued to the appellant. The respondent is directed to revise the bill for the consumption for the period from 29-06-2016 to 21-07-2017 by taking an average consumption of 1016 units normal, 25 units peak, and 30 units off peak i.e. the average consumption of 08/2017, 09/2017 and 10/2017. The respondent shall not take the months of 09/2016 and 03/2017 and 02/2017 and 03/2017 for revision of the peak and off peak periods respectively as there is no recorded consumption during that period. Accordingly the respondent shall raise a bill for the meter faulty period from 29-06-2016 to 21-07-2017 and issue the revised bill to the consumer within fifteen days.
The appellant is also eligible for installments, if requested for, and the respondent shall issue the same. The consumer shall pay the whole amount or the 1st installment within 30 days of this order. The subsequent installments will bear interest from 30th day of this order to the day of payment. No interest or surcharge is payable by the consumer for the Appeal pending period before this Forum and up to 30th day of this order.
Having concluded and decided as above it is ordered accordingly. The Appeal Petition filed by the Consumer is allowed as ordered and stands disposed of as such. The order of CGRF in 66/2017-18 dated 24-02-2018 is set aside. No order on costs. |
