 P/106/2015 - Sri N.A. Ashraf, Kasaragode 
|
|
| The appellant is a consumer bearing consumer number 19881 under Electrical Section Udma, Kasaragode. The appellant has been issued a huge bill dated 20-11-2014 for Rs. 27,425/- for the consumption of 3260 units for the period from 22-09-2014 to 20-11-2014. The appellant objected the reading in the meter and bill and requested to test the meter. Accordingly a parallel meter installed in the premises which confirmed the correctness of the existing meter. Still unconvinced the result of the testing, the appellant requested to test the meter in an accredited laboratory. The test conducted in the TMR Division, Kannur also established the healthiness of the meter. Aggrieved by this, the appellant approached the CGRF, Kozhikode with a petition in OP No. 88/2014-15 which was dismissed with a direction to remit the amount in twelve equal instalments, on 11-03-2015. Not satisfied with the above order, the appellant filed this appeal petition before this Authority on 20-04-2015. Since the appellant has actually consumed the energy, the short assessment bill issued for the period from 21-01-2014 to 20-11-2014 is in order and the appellant is liable to remit the same. Order of CGRF is upheld. Appeal is dismissed. |
| P/107/2015 - Fr. Thomas Vaikathuparambil, Lisie Hospital, Ernakulam
|
|
| The appellant is the Director of Lisie Hospital, Ernakulam and a consumer having a high tension electric connection with consumer code 9/837 under Electrical Section, Kaloor. The original contract demand of the HT connection of the appellant is 750 KVA. The appellant had applied for enhancement of additional load of 750 KVA on 04-12-2012 along with application fee and advance amount. The work was proposed to be executed by the appellant under the supervision of KSEB. The respondent had directed the appellant to remit Rs. 55,531/- towards supervision charges for the works and the appellant remitted the amount on 27-03-2013. Meanwhile, the appellant had furnished an undertaking as directed by the respondent. On 29-05-2014, the respondents issued a demand notice to the appellant for Rs. 20,25,000/- towards the unconnected minimum charges for the period from 27-07-13 to 31-03-14 which was remitted by the appellant on 31-05-2014. Aggrieved by this, the appellant approached the CGRF praying to set aside the UCM charges and to refund the amount. The Forum, in its order dated 27-03-2015 in Petition No. CGRF-CR/Comp.139/2014-15/12, dismissed the petition as it is found devoid of any merit. Aggrieved against the said order, this appeal petition is filed. There is no ground for collecting an amount of Rs. 20,25,000.00 towards the UCM charges from the appellant. Since the appellant had already remitted the amount, the respondent is directed to refund the amount with interest at any rate within 30 days from the date of receipt of this order. CGRF order is set aside. Appeal is admitted. |

Later this service connection was dismantled in pursuance of an order dated 31-12-2010 issued by the CGRF in OP No.591/2010 filed by one Sri Vijayakumar.

Disregarding the status quo order, the respondent had provided service connection in the same disputed building with consumer no. 18060, on submission of application by Sri. Vijayakumar, Chittedathuveedu, Mylakulam, Puthoor. Aggrieved by this, the appellant approached the CGRF, Kottarakkara with a petition in OP No.1293/2014 which was dismissed due to lack of merit and evidences, vide order dated 29-01-2015. Not satisfied with the above order, the appellant filed this appeal petition before this Authority on 02-03-2015. In view of the pendency of Civil disputes with respect to the ownership, it is not proper for this Authority to make any authoritative decisions in this regard. The appellant is at liberty to approach this Authority or any appropriate Forum under the provisions in the Electricity Act, 2003 after settling the civil disputes if so advised. Appeal is rejected. |
