In the above circumstances, respondents are directed to process petitioner’s application for change of tariff as per rules, once petitioner submits the formal applications with necessary documents and remits the application fees.” Aggrieved by the Order No. 80/2014-15 dated 27/11/2014 of CGRF, the appellant has submitted the appeal dated 17/12/14 before this Authority.
