The appellants Sri K. Surendran & Smt. S. Ushakumari are the owners of 10 cents of land comprised in Resurvey No. 131/14 of Parassala Village. On 25-02-2012, the appellants gave a licence to one Sri Vandrose for running a driving school in a semi permanent shed bearing Door No VIII/VI A in the above said property for a period of 3 years. Sri Vandrose obtained an electricity connection with consumer No. 23631 under the jurisdiction of Electrical Section, Parassala, with the consent of the appellants. After completing the license period of 3 years the appellant has not renewed the agreement further. The appellants wanted to change the name of the registered service connection with consumer No. 23631 to the appellant’s name and hence approached with an application to the Assistant Engineer, Electrical Section, Parassala and Assistant Executive Engineer, Electrical Sub Division, Parassala which was not allowed by them. Aggrieved by this, the appellants filed a petition before the CGRF, Kottarakkara vide OP No.1658/2015. The CGRF disposed of the petition with a direction to the respondent to change the name of the registered consumer on production of the documents by the appellants as per the model application form for change in name of registered consumer Annexed to the Regulation 90(1) of Kerala Electricity Supply Code, 2014. Not satisfied with the above decision of the CGRF, the appellant submitted this appeal petition before this Authority. In view of the discussions, it is concluded that the respondent is directed to change the name of the appellants on deposit of security amount afresh by the appellants as per Regulation 91(4) (f) and observing all other formalities. This shall be done at any rate within 30 days from the date of receipt of this order. It is also made clear that the security deposit remitted by Sri Vandrose can be refunded to him on his application if any as per the prevailing rules. The order of CGRF in OP No. 1658/2015 & 3/2016 dated 14-03-2016 is set aside. No order as to costs.

The appellant is running a bakery named ‘Ebanezar Sweets’ having consumer No. 78 under Electrical Section, Ranni (South) with a connected load of 9 kW. The connected load of the appellant has been enhanced from 3000 Watts to 9000 Watts and also changed the tariff from LT IV to LT VII A with effect from 10-12-2014. The respondent has issued a bimonthly invoice amounting to Rs. 22,000.00 for the period from 21-09-2015 to 19-11-2015 on the basis of actual recorded consumption of 1956 units. Aggrieved against the exorbitant bill the appellant filed a petition before CGRF, Kottarakkara which was dismissed vide order No. 1650/2015 dated 05-03-2016. Still not satisfied with the decision of the CGRF, the appellant submitted this appeal petition before this Authority. In view of the above discussions it can be seen that the respondent issued the bill dated 19-11-2015 for Rs. 22,000.00 without furnishing any reasons or explanations or even without checking the accuracy of the meter. Hence the above bill is not sustainable and hereby quashed. However, the respondent is directed to reassess the appellant on the basis of average consumption of 3 consecutive bills after the replacement of the meter for the disputed period from 20-07-2015 to 30-09-2015 as per Regulation 125 of Supply Code, 2014.
