The appellant, Smt. Annie Jose, is an industrial consumer having consumer number 2507 under Electrical Section, Parappukara. The appellant was issued a short assessment bill amounting to Rs. 2,26,410.00 for the period from 10/2013 to 11/2014 based on the audit report of the Regional Audit Officer, Irinjalakkuda, alleging that the contract demand of the appellant has exceeded 100 kVA. One time relaxation was given to consumers genuinely requiring a contract demand exceeding 100 kVA for continuing under LT connection, subject to the condition that contract demand declared shall not exceed the present connected load, i.e. load based on which billing was done during November 2012 and that such consumer had connected load above 100 kVA prior to implementation of Supply Code, 2015. The appellant’s registered contract demand was 112 kVA. In the audit it was found that the recorded maximum demand of the appellant during the month of 10/2013 was 113 kVA. Since the eligibility of one time relaxation was lost, the appellant was billed under High Tension category and accordingly the short assessment bill issued. Aggrieved against the bill, the appellant filed petition before the CGRF, Ernakulam vide Petition No. 143/2015-16. The Forum vide order dated 10-05-2016, directed the respondent to limit the period of assessment for 24 months. Not satisfied with the decision of CGRF, the appellant has submitted this appeal petition before this Authority. In the above circumstances it is decided to quash the short assessment bill issued for Rs. 1,68,431.00. The respondent is directed to issue revised bill treating the appellant as deemed HT consumer with effect from 06/2014 onwards based on the Schedule of Tariff and Terms and Conditions issued by KSERC. The order of CGRF-CR/Comp/143/2015-16/73 dated 10-05-2016 is hereby set aside. No order as to costs. |

The grievance of the appellant is against the shifting of an electric post LT pole no. AG 17/1 situated in her property by the respondent after encroaching about 2 meters and has drawn electric line through her property without any consent. She alleges that her neighbour’s ill motive is behind this action. She also states that the electric post was shifted through her property without her consent and knowledge which has caused damage to her property and due to this encroachment she has suffered a lot. Aggrieved by this, the appellant filed a petition before the CGRF, Kottarakkara, which was dismissed vide order No. OP/1653/ 2015 dated 20-04-2016. Not satisfied with the order of the Forum, the appellant approached this Authority with this appeal. So, in view of the discussions it is concluded that the respondent’s action to shift the electric post in question from its original position is found highly arbitrary and against rules of natural justice and hence cannot be justified. Therefore, the respondent is directed to replace the LT post to its original location at any rate within a period of 15 days from the date of receipt of this order. The order of CGRF in OP No.1653/2015 dated 20-04-2016 is hereby quashed. No order as to costs. |
