| As the industrial unit was closed since 2018, there was no electricity consumption. The appellant represented to Special Officer (Revenue) for the relaxation of the minimum demand charges and then to Hon’ble Minister of Electricity. The power was disconnected on 01-04-2021 and then the appellant paid Rs.3,50,000/- on 01-03-2022 and power reconnected during March 2022. The appellant filed petition to the Consumer Grievance Redressal Forum (CGRF), Central Region and CGRF (CR) ordered that the petitioner is liable to pay the arrear bill and granted instalment facility of 12 monthly instalments to make the payment. The appellant filed appeal petition before this Authority and following decision is taken:
1. The appellant is not liable to pay the demand charges beyond 180 days of disconnection and accordingly the arrear amount is to be recalculated.
2. The appellant is liable to pay the arrear bill amount as per the revised bill prepared in accordance with (1) above.
3. The order of Consumer Grievance Redressal Forum (Central Region) is modified accordingly.
4. The Licensee shall grant instalment facility as decided by Consumer Grievance Redressal Forum. |
