 P/012/2019 - Sri. Narayanan K., Ernakulam 
|
|
| The appellant represents M/s Indus Towers Ltd., a company providing passive infra structure service to telecommunication providers. The consumer number of the appellant’s three phase service connection is 16452 with tariff LT VI F which is coming under the jurisdiction of Electrical Section, Velloorkkunnam. The appellant had applied for additional load of 11 kW to the existing load of 11 kW to the above Electrical connection for the mobile tower erected at Nellad under Electrical section Velloorkunnam on 30/12/2009. The appellant had remitted an amount of Rs.4,34,700/- on 09/04/2010 towards the estimate cost of 11 kV line extension and installation of transformer. But the transformer installation was not done and the additional load of11 kW was sanctioned as per the application by remitting the additional cash deposit of Rs.10,000/- and additional OYEC of Rs. 8000/- on 11/07/2010. The appellant had filed an application dated 06/03/2018 before the Assistant Executive Engineer, Electrical Section, Velloorkkunnam for the refund of Rs. 4,34,700/- collected, but the officer did not respond and hence the appellant had approached the CGRF (CR) Ernakulam by filing a petition No. 33/2018-19. The Forum dismissed the petition with a direction to the respondent to take immediate action to construct the 400m 11 kV line and install 100kVA transformer within one month. Aggrieved against this, the appellant has submitted this appeal petition before this Authority. In view of the above discussions it is concluded that the proportionate expenditure of Rs. 88,091/- i.e., 22% (a load of 22 kVA is connected to the 100 kVA transformer for the appellant) of the actual cost of Rs. 4,00,413/- incurred for the erection and drawal of 450 mtrs 11 kV line need be realized from the appellant. The excess amount of Rs. 3,46,609/- remitted by the applicant shall be adjusted in the future bills or to refund the amount at any rate within 45 days from the date of receipt of this order. The appeal filed by the appellant is found having some merits and is allowed. The order dated 31-12-2018 in 33/2018-19 of CGRF is set aside. No order as to costs. |
| P/011/2019- Sri. Madhusoodanan Pillai Thiruvananthapuram
|
|
| The Appellant Sri. Madhusoodanan Pillai is a registered Consumer of Electrical Section, Peroorkada having Consumer No. 32107 (effected on 24.09.2016) having construction tariff LT VI F of Electrical Section, Peroorkada under Electrical Sub Division, Vellayambalam. The appellant’s grievance is that the respondent has not provided a permanent connection to his premises by erecting 2" dia GI Pipe as requested by him, instead demanded an estimate cost Rs. 10081/- on 29.10.2018 with the pole insertion and allied works, for the work. The appellant filed a complaint before the CGRF for effecting the domestic connection using GI pipe. The CGRF disposed the case stating that there is no provision to effect the supply by using a metallic pipe as weather proof support suggested by the petitioner and hence the petitioner is liable to remit the estimate cost demanded by the Assistant Engineer vide its order dated 17-01-2019 in OP No. 143/2018. In view of the above factual position I don’t find any reason to interfere with the findings and decision taken by the CGRF, Kottarakkara in this case and hence the order of CGRF in OP No. 143/2018 dated 17-01-2019 is upheld. Having concluded and decided as above, it is ordered accordingly. No order on costs. |

|
| The Appellant is a consumer under Electrical Section, 0ttapalam with Consumer No. 1165339007474. The 3 phase connection was given under LT 7A Tariff for running Hotel and Restaurant named as Hotel Aramana. The APTS, Palakkad inspected the premises of the appellant on 28.05.2018 and found that the energy used in one phase (out of 3 phases) was not recording in the meter. Accordingly a short assessment bill was issued to the appellant for an amount of Rs. 3,59,749/- for the period January 2017 to May 2018. Being aggrieved with the short assessment, the consumer approached the CGRF, Northern Region, with Petition No. 54/2018-19 and the Forum disposed of the petition on 13-11-2018 by quashing the bill amount of Rs.359749/- and also directed the respondent to revise the short assessment by limiting the period of assessment to 12 months. Aggrieved by the decision, the appellant has submitted the Appeal petition before this Authority. From the findings and conclusions arrived at as detailed above, I decide to uphold the decision of the CGRF, Kozhikode. The respondent is directed to revise the short assessment bill by limiting the period of assessment to 12 months prior to the rectification of the metering system. The respondent shall issue a revised bill within a period of 15 days from the date of receipt of this order. Having concluded and decided as above it is ordered accordingly. No order on costs. |
