The appellant is an Association of Classified Hotels and Restaurants within the state of Kerala. The KSERC had issued tariff order dated: 25-07-2012 vide OP No. 23 of 2012, whereby it had revised the retail tariff of all consumers in the State. The Association had filed Appeal No. 10 of 2013 before the Hon’ble Appellate Tribunal for Electricity challenging the tariff order dated: 25-07-2012 in the matter of fixation of tariff as regards HT IV commercial category and particularly in respect of the members of the Association aforesaid. By judgment dated: 25-10-2013 in the aforesaid appeal, the Hon’ble APTEL set aside the tariff as determined by the KSERC for HT IV commercial category and declared that they should be charged at Rs. 400.00 per kVA per month and energy charges at Rs. 5.50 per kWh for all units consumed. Further there is a direction to refund the excess charge from all consumers of HT IV commercial category in their bills from the month of November 2013 to April 2014 in equal installments. The aforesaid order was confirmed by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in Civil Appeal No. 84 of 2014 except for modifying the dates of refund. The Cochin Port Trust, the Licensee is liable to charge the appellant at the rate fixed in OP No. 23 of 2012 in terms of the direction in paragraph 166 (b) wherein it has been ordered that the tariff approved in OP No. 23 of 2012 shall be applicable to the consumers of all other licensees in the state from 01-07-2012 till 31-03-2013 and that the existing categorization / classification of tariffs for consumers of the licensees shall be realigned accordingly. But the licensee has taken a stand that since Cochin Port Trust, the respondent is not a party to the proceedings before the APTEL, the judgment of the Appellate Tribunal is not binding on them. Against the stand so taken by the Cochin Port Trust the appellant filed a complaint before the CGRF of the Licensee. But the Forum rejected the petition as devoid of merits. Hence the appellant filed this appeal before this Authority. Set aside the order of CGRF and directed the respondent to refund the excess amount collected.

The appellant is Cochin Shipyard doing the business of ship manufacturing and repair works. The appellant had taken possession of workshop and dry dock facilities of Cochin Port Trust at Willington Island on lease for a period of 30 years with effect from 12th April 2013, where the respondent is the power distribution licensee. Accordingly supply of electricity was given to the appellant at 11 kV system for a contract demand of 630 kVA and subsequently quantum of power was reduced to 350 kVA on executing the HT Agreement as per the relevant Supply Code. The tariff of the said HT supply was assigned as HT IV commercial. According to the appellant, it had requested for change of tariff from HT IV to HT I industrial at the time of executing the agreement. Since the respondent had reluctance to change the said connection to HT I industrial, the appellant had been compelled to agree the tariff under HT IV as assigned by the respondent. In these circumstances the appellant approached the CGRF seeking to direct the licensee to change the tariff to HT I industrial. A hearing was conducted on 30-10-2014 in the chamber of Chairperson, CGRF, where both parties were heard. The CGRF was of the view that there was no merit in the petition filed by the appellant before it. Hence the petition was dismissed. Against the said order this appeal petition was filed. Respondent is directed to reclassify the tariff on receipt of application from the appellant.

The appellant applied for change of ownership in respect of a building which he purchased by the sale deed dated: 16-02-2011 from Sri Rajan Kunju and Sri Pradeep Kumar. But, due to the objections filed by Sri Pradeep Kumar, the service connection was not transferred in the appellant’s name. The appellant approached the CGRF seeking for transfer of ownership of the service connection in his name since he submitted all the requisite documents for change of ownership. According to the respondent, the change of ownership is not registered due to the dispute over the title and ownership of the property. After hearing both parties the Forum found that there was no fault or purposeful delay on the part of the respondent in transferring service connection, since there were series of litigation regarding the ownership of the building. At the same time the Forum was of the view that the right of the appellant herein for electric supply could not be delayed in the event of producing satisfactory proof of his ownership over the building. The CGRF, therefore, disposed of the petition directing the appellant herein to pursue his application for service connection on finalisation of the pending dispute regarding the ownership of the property. Aggrieved against the said order this appeal petition was filed. Respondent is directed to transfer the ownership within a period of 15 days on receipt of application along with required documents.
