As per the request of the appellant, the energy meter was tested in TMR Division, Pallom and found defective. As such, the appellant was given revised bills from 05/2020 to 10/2020. The appellant remitted the bill amount from 01/05/2020 to 02/2021 on 19/02/2021. Later, the appellant was given another bill for Rs.43,641/- which is the surcharge for the amount.
