On 16.04.2019, the Anti Power Theft Squad, Ernakulam unit of KSEBL along with the officials of the Electrical Section Edappally had conducted an inspection at the premises of the appellant. During the inspection it was detected that the secondary wires from the CT provided in the Y phase power cable were wrongly connected to the B phase current terminals of the meter and the secondary wires from the CT provided on the B phase power cable were wrongly connected to the Y phase current terminals of the meter causing wrong phase association. So as to compensate revenue loss to the Board for the unrecorded portion of energy, the Assistant Engineer, Electrical Section, Edappally issued a provisional short assessment bill. Then the appellant had challenged before the CGRF, the demand notice dated 7-6-2019 issued by the respondent to pay an amount of Rs. 91,29,231/- as short assessment charges for the period from 18-06-2014 to 16-04-2019. The Forum disposed of the petition vide order No. 50/2019-20 dated 25-11-2019 by ordering that the bill is to be revised by adding one half of the recorded consumption. Aggrieved against this, the appellant has submitted this appeal petition before this Authority on 23-12-2019.
For the reasons detailed above, it is decided to issue a revised short assessment bill for a period of 2 years from 12/2017 to 11/2019 by taking 50% of the recorded consumption in that period. The short assessment bill for Rs. 57,21,918/- is quashed.
The order dated 25-11-2019 in OP No. 50/2019 -20 of CGRF, Ernakulam is set aside. The appellant is allowed instalments without interest, to remit the revised short assessment bill, if he desires so.
