The appellant is a three phase industrial consumer with Consumer No. 554 under
Electrical Section, Kilimanoor. The said electric connection was registered in the name of
Sri. Chamikannu Chettiar and is issued for running an Oil and Flour Mill under the licensee
ownership of one Aliyarkunju. On 27th April 2014 there was a lightning and the energy meter
installed in the appellant’s premises got damaged and the meter started running
automatically. A complaint was given to the respondent on the next day and Overseer named
Raju had inspected the premises and assured to reduce the bill. Based on the complaint the
Assistant Engineer also inspected the premises and informed that the damaged meter will be
replaced within a week’s time.
Accordingly a new meter was installed and the existing meter was taken away. But
the bill issued to the appellant for the month of July 2014 was amounting to Rs. 34,718/-. A
complaint was given by the appellant and the respondent has directed to remit an amount of
Rs. 310/- for testing the meter. It is alleged that the faulty meter was either made proper or
replaced by the KSEB officials prior to the testing without the knowledge of the appellant.
Aggrieved by this, the appellant approached the CGRF, Kottarakkara with a petition in OP
No. 1331/2014 which was dismissed but allowed to remit bill amount in 10 equal instalments.
Against the Order dated 23-03-2015 in OP No 1331 of 2014, the appellant filed this appeal. The respondent is directed to issue revised bill based on average consumption for the period preceding the date of bill challenged before this Authority at any rate within 30 days from the date of receipt of this order. CGRF order is set aside. Appeal is allowed. |
