| The appellant represents M/s Indus Towers Ltd., a company providing passive infra structure service to telecommunication providers. The appellant is a 3 phase LT VI F consumer bearing number 1011 under Electrical Section, Vellanad, with a connected load of 18 KW. The appellant is paying the current charges regularly without any dues or delay. As per the observations of the Regional Audit Officer, a short assessment bill amounting to Rs. 2,02,277/- due to meter faulty period from 12/2016 to 02/2017 has been issued to the consumer on 02.05.2018. An objection against the demand was filed before the Assistant Engineer on 22-06-2018. He rejected the petition without quoting any valid reason or regulations and directed the appellant to remit the short assessed amount. Against the short assessment bill, the appellant had approached the CGRF (SR) Kottarakkara by filing a petition No. OP No. 138/2018. The Forum disposed of the petition by quashing the short assessment bill for Rs. 2,02,277/- and directed the respondent to revise the bill for two billing cycles based on the average consumption after meter change, vide order dated 08-02-2019. Aggrieved against this, the appellant has submitted this appeal petition before this Authority.   From the conclusions arrived at as detailed above, I decide to set aside the short assessment bill amounting to Rs. 202277/- issued to the appellant. Having concluded and decided as above it is ordered accordingly. The Appeal Petition filed by the Consumer is allowed as ordered and stands disposed of as such. The order of CGRF in OP No. 138/2018 dated 08-02-2019 is set aside. No order on costs. |

| The appellant is the consumer under the Electrical Section, Kottiyam. The appellant has requested the respondent to shift the electric line and post located in appellant’s property. Since no action has been taken by the respondent, the appellant filed petition before the CGRF, Kottarakkara in OP No.144/2018 requesting to shift the line and two posts from his property. Being not satisfied by the decision of CGRF, the appellant has filed this Appeal petition before this Authority against orders issued by the CGRF in OP No.144/2018 dated 12-02-2019. From the findings and conclusions arrived at as detailed above, I decide as follows. The Appeal Petition filed by the appellant is rejected and stands disposed of as such. Whenever the dispute regarding the shifting of electric line before the District Magistrate is settled, the respondent shall take proper action as per the orders of District Magistrate. Having concluded and decided as above it is ordered accordingly. No order on costs. |

| The appellant is a consumer under Electrical Section, Palarivattom having consumer number 25603 under industrial tariff LT IV B with connected load of 19420 watts. A penal bill for Rs. 2,03,780/- was issued to the appellant after an inspection conducted by the APTS, KSEBL on 11-05-2018. It is found in the inspection that the service connection availed for industrial purpose was misused for commercial purposes. The appellant filed a complaint before the CGRF, Ernakulam against the assessment made under Section 126 of Electricity Act 2003. According to the respondent, the matter of the complaint is an assessment under Section 126 of the Act and the CGRF is barred from entertaining such complaints in view of regulation 2 (1) (f) (vii) (1) of the KSERC (CGRF and Electricity Ombudsman) Regulations, 2005. Accordingly the Forum held that it was improper to entertain the complaint and directed the appellant to approach the Appellate Authority, vide order No.44/2018-19 dated 21-02-2019. But without complying the said order of CGRF, this appeal petition was filed before this Authority. From the analysis done and the findings and conclusion arrived at, which are the above, I take the following decision. The appeal petition is rejected as not maintainable. But I am remanding the case to the Assessing Officer, who has to review the case. Having concluded and decided as above, it is ordered accordingly. The appeal petition filed by the appellant is disposed of as it is remanded to the Assessing Officer for hearing as directed. No order on costs. |
