The appellant is a consumer having consumer No. 5244 with LT IV tariff under Electrical Section, Nadakkavu, Kozhikode. He has been running an industry, M/s National Diesels for the last 32 years. Meanwhile he was served with a bill dated 31-03-2014 for Rs. 12,210.00 based on an inspection conducted by the Division Squad on 22-03-2014. It was alleged by the respondents that they had found a small counter where telephone recharge coupons had been sold. This counter was not connected to the power systems of the licensee. There was no additional load detected by the licensee. A site mahazar was prepared by the Sub Engineer of the KSEB. Subsequently the appellant approached the CGRF seeking to direct the respondents to quash the bill and to change the tariff to previous LT IV A. The Forum, in its order directed the respondents to reassign LT IV tariff to the appellant from 11/2014 onwards. The Forum also directed the respondents to maintain good consumer friendly relationship. But the Forum made no orders for quashing the bill issued by the respondents. Aggrieved against this order this appeal petition was filed. The respondents are directed to refund the sum of Rs.12,210.00 within a period of 30 days.

The appellant’s establishment has two service connections with consumer Nos. 11315 and 15114 under Electrical Section, Vandiperiyar. Two short assessment bills dated: 23-11-2013 amounting to Rs. 30,647/- and Rs. 3.,173/- respectively were issued to the appellant. The appellant approached the CGRF on 01/08/2014 seeking to revise the said bills. The Forum found that the appellant already remitted the bill amounting to Rs. 3,173/- for consumer No. 15114 on 13-02-2014 without any objection. Therefore the Forum did not intervene in that matter. As far as the bill relating to consumer No. 11315 is concerned, the Forum is of the view that the assessment cannot be recovered after a span of two years. Hence the respondents were directed to revise the bill for Rs. 30,647/- by limiting the period of assessment for two years. Aggrieved against the said order, this appeal petition was filed. The period of short assessment limited to 2 years. Appeal allowed.
