The appellant, Smt. Sonia Rajeev, Proprietrix of M/s Caravan Softies is a
registered consumer with consumer No. 788 under Electrical Section, College,
Ernakulam. On 24-04-2013, the Audit Wing of KSEB Limited verified the records
and monthly Meter Reading Register of the appellant and detected that adequate
capacitors are not installed in the appellant’s premises and directed to charge the
appellant 20% extra on Fixed charges and Energy charges for the period from
12/2009 to 06/2012. Accordingly a short assessment bill for Rs. 61,324/- under
Regulation 24 (5) was issued to the appellant on 15-05-2013. Aggrieved by this, the
appellant approached CGRF by filing complaint No. 94/2014. The Forum in its
order dated: 08-01-2015 disposed the case by limiting the period of assessment for 2
years preceding the date of issuance of bill. Not satisfied with the above order, the
appellant filed an appeal before this Authority 24-02-2015. 20% extra charges demanded by the respondent for the period from 12/2009 to 06/2012 is arbitrary and hence unsustainable. It is directed to refund the amount already remitted by the appellant along with interest within 30 days from the date of receipt of this order. Appeal is admitted. CGRF order set aside. |
