 P/036/2018 - Sri. Aneesh Chandran, Kollam 
|
|
| The appellant has filed the appeal petition, being aggrieved at the inaction of KSEBL to shift the transformer erected in front of his property situated under Electrical Section, Thevalakkara. The appellant alleges that the said transformer was installed without informing him. Due to the installation of transformer, he finds difficulty to enter the property. Though the appellant had approached the officers of KSEBL and District Collector for shifting the transformer, his grievance is not yet settled. The appellant has filed petition before the CGRF, Kottarakkara vide Petition No. OP No. 31/2018 and the CGRF has dismissed it by order dated 14-05-2018, as a case on same subject matter is pending before the District Collector. Still aggrieved by the said order, the appellant has filed the Appeal Petition, before this Authority. In view of the 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 is upheld. The appeal is found devoid of any merits and hence dismissed. Having concluded and decided as above, it is ordered accordingly. No order on costs. |

| The appellant, Smt. K.S. Seena is a three phase commercial consumer with consumer number 1155834026726 under LT VII A tariff of Electrical Section, Perumbavoor. The appellant is paying the current charges regularly without any dues or delay. But the respondent as per the letter dated 17-02-2017 directed the appellant to remit an amount of Rs. 13,400/- being the short assessment of fixed charge for the period from 01/2012 to 09/2016 based on the findings in the Regional Audit Report. Against the short assessment bill, the appellant had approached the CGRF, Ernakulam by filing a petition in No. 128/2017-18. The Forum dismissed the petition vide order dated 31-05-2018. Aggrieved against this, the appellant has submitted the appeal petition before this Authority. From the findings and conclusions arrived at as detailed above, I decide to set aside the short assessment bill amounting to Rs. 13,400/- issued to the appellant. The respondent is directed to revise the bill by limiting the period for 24 months for the fixed charge of the present connected load after conducting an inspection in the premises of the appellant. The appellant is also eligible for installments, if requested for, and the respondent shall issue the same. The consumer shall pay the whole amount or the 1st installment within 30 days of the revised bill date. The subsequent installments will bear interest from 30th day of the bill issued to the day of payment. No interest or surcharge is payable by the consumer for the Petition and Appeal pending period before the CGRF and this Authority up to 30th day of the revised bill date. 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.
