The appeal filed to this Authority vide No. P-028/2022. This office has completed procedures and process and order issued on 12-08-2022, stating that the consumer is liable to pay the bills. Aggrieved with this order the review appellant filed the petition to review the order of this Authority. The relevant Sections are very clear that the consumer is responsible to keep the meter and installations under safe custody and make the premises neat, clear, and accessible for Licensee to take meter reading regularly. As such, there is no merit in reviewing the order and hence, the review petition is dismissed. |

| The reading recorded by the consumer’s meter was 28.28% lower than that of the actual consumption. Since the exact date of CT open condition has not been able to assess, the short assessment was calculated for 12 months as per Regulation 152(3) of Kerala Electricity Supply Code 2014 for an amount of Rs.1,13,606/-. The review appellant filed petition to CGRF and CGRF(N) issued order to make the short assessment bill for 6 months preceding the date of inspection. The appeal has been filed to this Authority and order has been issued dated 15-09-2022 agreeing the order of CGRF. Section 152 (3) of Kerala Electricity Supply Code 2014 is very clear that if the exact date of occurrence and anomaly has not been able to assess, the short assessment is to be changed for 12 months preceding the inspection. However, the CGRF has been revised the short assessment to 6 months and quashed the short assessment bill of 12 months. This is seen to be a consumer-friendly approach. During the hearing, the review respondent was mentioning that some data downloaded for the meter shows that neutral current disturbance was observed since 2018. The breakage of CT wire of one phase would have been one of the reasons for such disturbances. As there is no fresh issues matter or evidences, which have not been considered during the process of appeal petition, the review petition is not having any merit to consider. The review petition is not maintainable and hence, dismissed. |
