| The appellant is a consumer under Electrical Section, Thiruvallam and is having two numbers of electric connections with consumer Nos.7509 and 15688 under LTI (A) domestic tariff. The electric connection No. 7509 was originally given during 04/1997 and the electric connection No. 15688 was effected during 2011. The Sub Engineer of Thiruvallam inspected the site and found that the supply with electric connection No. 7509 was used for pumping water for construction purpose and the tariff was changed to LT VII A from 25/10/2017, as there are no domestic activities done by using this supply. The appellant has requested to change the tariff of consumer No. 15688 from domestic to commercial tariff under VII A Tariff and to shift the connection with consumer No. 7509 to the residential building from the masonry wall under deposit work. Since no steps were taken, the consumer filed a complaint before the CGRF, Kottarakkara which was disposed of, holding that the petitioner’s electric connection in consumer number 7509 shall be under LT VI F for construction purpose. Aggrieved by this order of the CGRF, the Appellant has submitted this appeal before this Forum.
From the analysis done above and the conclusions arrived at, I take the following decisions.
From the conclusions arrived at as detailed above, and under the provisions of the Supply Code, 2014, I am fully convinced that the request of the appellant is not considered reasonably by directing the appellant to submit the required application and the fees and following the procedures. Hence, I decide that the order of the CGRF stands quashed. It is left open to the appellant to approach the authorities of licensee for tariff change and shifting of connection by submitting the applications in the prescribed annexure form along with documents and remitting fees, if he desires so. The respondent shall take proper action as per rules.
Having concluded and decided as above it is ordered accordingly. The Appeal Petition filed by the Consumer is allowed to the extent as ordered and stands disposed of as such. |
