Pursuant to an application submitted by the appellant by the tariff of the said premises was changed from LT VII A to LT IV with effect from 15-04-2005. On 18-09-2012, the APTS team conducted an inspection in the premises and detected that only quality testing and certification (hallmarking) process was carried out in the units and there was no production of bullion products carried out in the premises.

| The review appellant herein in P/342/2013 is running a hotel in the name of M/s Hotel Sree Aryas having electricity consumer number 6536 under Electrical Section, Kottayam Central. The premises of the review appellant was inspected by the KSEB officials on 23-05-2009 and found the connected load as 16 KW against the sanctioned load 15 KW. It was also found that the energy consumption in one phase is not recording in the meter. The review respondent has issued a short assessment bill for Rs. 1,63,802/-. Against the short assessment bill, the review appellant filed objection before the Assessing Officer who disposed the petition by enhancing the bill amount to Rs. 1,83,493/-, vide his final order dated 13-06-12. Aggrieved by this the review appellant approached the CGRF, Kottarakkara in Petition No. 833/2012. The CGRF disposed the petition by directing Board to conduct a detailed enquiry, since serious procedural irregularities and negligence on the part of Board officials in the matter. Not satisfied with the decision of the CGRF, the review appellant filed a petition before this Authority which was disposed as follows: 1. The Assessing Officer is directed to review the penal bill raised for the UAL of 1 KW, by taking into consideration the clause 51 ( 4) of KSEB T& C of Supply, which prevents the penalization for availing less than 10% variation in connected load, within 60 days of this order, with an opportunity given to consumer for hearing him. 2. Regarding the meter faulty period reassessment, the short fall in the meter recordings, due to one phase fault is determined as (592units x 12 months) 7104 units instead of 18949 units assessed by respondent and directed the respondent to revise the bill accordingly. Now the review appellant has submitted this review petition with a plea to review the second part of the decision taken in the appeal petition no. P/342/2013. Nothing is pointed out by the review appellant which escaped the notice of this Authority while disposing the appeal No. P-342/2013 dated 09-12-2013, I hold that the review petition is not maintainable and hence rejected. |
