|
| The service connection bearing consumer No. 5003, under KSEB Punja Section, Pallom was originally stand registered in favour of Sri Jacob Kuruvila. The connection was disconnected on 06-04-2016 due to non payment of electricity bill and on 15-02-2018 a dismantling notice was stuck near the meter. The grievance of the appellant is that he was not issued a notice either through post or in person before disconnecting the connection. The appellant’s version is that he had remitted Rs. 50/- for tariff change on 05-05-2018. The complaint of the appellant is that a bill of Rs 4779/- as arrear was accrued due to non issuance of the electricity bills and his application for tariff change was not processed properly and delayed unnecessarily. The appellant aggrieved by this arrear bill and delay for tariff change, then approached the CGRF praying for a direction to set aside the arrear demand notice issued and to change the present tariff. The Forum dismissed the petition vide Order OP No. 93/2018 dated 28-09-2018 and also directed the appellant to apply for tariff change with required documents. Aggrieved by the decision of the CGRF, the consumer has filed the Appeal Petition before this Authority. From the analysis done above and the conclusions arrived at, I take the following decision. The surcharge of Rs. 875/- is exempted from the payment of arrears by the appellant. Connection can be effected under the eligible tariff after obtaining application with required documents as per rules, if the appellant desires so. The order of CGRF, Kottarakkara in OP No. 93/2018 dated 28-09-2018 is set aside. Having concluded and decided as above, it is ordered accordingly. No order on costs. |
