The appellant Shri. K.P.Poulose is a domestic consumer of the licensee (KSEBL) under the Electrical section, Meenangadi with tariff LT.1A. The appellant was having a domestic connection for his residence and availed another connection under tariff LT 1A for labour shed near to his home. The consumer number is 1165935040166 and connected on 24/03/2023 and the registered connected load is 1087 watts. APTS along with the officials of the electrical section conducted an inspection on 07/02/2024 and found that two connections in the same tariff in same premises is against the regulation. And also seen that nobody is residing this shed instead the power is utilized for charging the Electric Vehicle (EV) of the inmates of the house (main house). This domestic connection was not used for any residential purpose and no laboures were residing this shed. EV charging by availing another domestic connection is the violation of regulation. Accordingly the licensee has issued a demand notice calculating energy charges adding both the consumptions and reducing the amount already paid. This amount worked out to Rs. 12,293/-. The appellant contented the demand and filed the petition to CGRF. CGRF issued order dated 18/05/2024 stating that the appellant is liable to pay the short assessment bill. Aggrieved by the decisions of CGRF, this appeal petition is field to this Authority.
