The appellant approached the Licensee for the refund of Other Charges and since no action was taken by them, the appellant filed petition in CGRF, Northern Regionand the Forum in its order dated 25-08-2021 rejected the request of the appellant. Not satisfied with the decision of the Forum, the appellant filed an appeal petition vide P-059/2021 before this Authority and a decision was taken as follows: “There are lapses on the part of appellant in maintaining the rated values of capacitors to avoid power factor disincentives and lapses on the part of respondent to intimate the subject of low power factor to the appellant as per rules. As such, it is decided to refund the power factor penalty realized from the appellant for 12 months from 11/2019 to 10/2020, by limiting the period of refund requested by the appellant The respondent shall refund the amount realized under “other charges” or “power factor penalty” from the appellant from 11/2019 to 10/2020 within 45 days from the date of order or adjust in the future bills.” Still not satisfied, the review petitioner filed this Review Petition.In the review petition nothing is pointed out, which escaped from the notice of this Authority while disposing the appeal petition. The review jurisdiction is limited to rectify a mistake or an error which is apparent on the face of records and it cannot be used as appellate jurisdiction. In this background, this Authority did not find any reason to intervene the order already issued. In view of the above, review petition is not maintainable and hence, rejected. |

| An inspection was conducted by the officials of Electrical Section on 16-07-2021 and found that the Current Transformer (CTs) used in the metering system with a ratio of 150/5. As per respondent, the entire metering system with CTs having ratio 100/5 was replaced on 18-07-2019 with a new metering system with CTs having ratio 150/5. But the respondent did not change CT ratio in the billing system and hence, application of Multiplication Factor (MF) was continued as ‘20’ instead of ‘30’.

The appellant filed this appeal petition before this Authority. This Authority upheld the decision taken by the CGRF, Kottarakkara in OP No. 56/2021 dated 07-12-2021. |
