| The appellant was given two meters for the above consumer numbers for Rs.88,375/- and Rs.35,736/- towards the undercharged amount for the period from 12/2007, following the judgment of Hon’ble Supreme Court. The appellant approached the officers of the Licensee and finally approached CGRF, Southern Region with a petition, requesting to allow the appellant to pay the principal amount only with the facility of instalments. The Forum registered the petition and the Forum vide order dismissed the Petition. The appellant filed this appeal petition before this Authority. The argument of the appellant that, the appellant has never been informed about any short assessment bill since 2007 is not sustainable. In a period of certain petitions and appeal petitions filed by similar institutions were being considered by the Hon’ble Courts, the Licensee cannot issue such bills on the same subject to the appellant. Only on 05-01-2020, KSEB Ltd. decided to issue bills under higher tariff rate to the Self-Financing Educational Institutions except those who availed favourable orders from Hon’ble High Court of Kerala. On the above circumstances, the appellant is liable to remit the amount. In the hearing, the respondent revealed that the benefit of “one time settlement” can be given to the appellant. The appeal petition No: P-041/2021 filed by the appellant stands dismissed. The order dated 30-04-2021 in OP No. 02/2021 of CGRF, Southern Region is upheld. |

| The appellant filed the Appeal Petition requesting for orders to shift a portion of 11 kV electric line passing through the appellant’s property without remitting any cost for the shifting of the line situated in the electricity distribution area of Electrical Sub Division, Taliparamba in Kannur District. The present address of the appellant is Marottinmoodu, Kongal, Paravoor in Kollam District. The appellant filed a petition in CGRF, Southern Region, Kottarakkara vide OP No. 16/2021 for the above mentioned purpose. As per appellant’s version, the length of 11 kV line to be shifted is 24 metres and only one number electric pole needs to be used. The CGRF, Southern Region analyzed the “Background” of the case in detail and issued order on 31-05-2021 with an observation that the Forum has no jurisdiction to consider the subject matter since the location where the electric line to be shifted is in Kannur District and the Forum has only jurisdiction in the Southern Region of the Licensee. The appellant filed the Appeal Petition against the order of CGRF. Hon’ble High Court of Kerala in the judgement dated 06-02-2019, directed the Licensee, KSEB Ltd. to carry out the shifting of electric line by collecting labour charges from the appellant. The respondent stated that the shifting work can be arranged by collecting the labour charge required for the work from the appellant and other two nearby property owners. As such the respondent is directed to issue a separate demand of labour charge to each applicant including the appellant within 15 days from the date of order and carry out the work within 30 days after the remittance of the labour charge. After completion of the work, the respondent shall evaluate the work on actual labour charge prepared based on the approved rate and refund the excess amount, if any, to the applicants and realize additional amount, if any, from the applicants within two months from the date of completion of the line shifting work.
