|
|
| The Appellant is running a saw mill bearing consumer No.5731 under LT-IV A Tariff with a connected load of 43000 watts and contract demand of 47778 kVA under Electrical Section, Kuunamangalam. The appellant requests to pay compensation to the loss occurred due to the disconnection of service connection without notice as per clause 139 (1) of the Kerala Electricity Supply Code 2014. Another grievance of the appellant is that the respondent illegally demanded security deposit equivalent to the current charge of three months instead of two months stipulated in the Code. The appellant had approached the CGRF (NR) Kozhikode by filing a petition No. 181/2018-19 and the Forum in its order dated 15/06/19 dismissed the petition. Aggrieved against this, the appellant has submitted this appeal petition before this Authority. From the findings and conclusions arrived at as detailed above, I decide as follows: 1. The respondent shall refund the excess security amount collected from the appellant as per Regulation 73(3) of the Supply Code, 2014. 2. The respondent shall examine whether any reliefs/concessions eligible for the flood affected area is applicable to the appellant and allow the same to the appellant, if eligible. Having concluded and decided as above, it is ordered accordingly and the Appeal Petition filed by the appellant, stands disposed of to the extent ordered. The order of CGRF, Kozhikode in 181/2018-19 dated 15-06-2019, is modified to this extent. No order on costs. |
