 P/062/2016 Sri. Mujeeb Rahman Thiruvananthapuram.

| This appeal petition has been filed by Sri. Mujeeb Rahman, Thaufeena Mazil, Nemom, against the order dated 09-08-2016 in OP No. 68/2016 passed by the CGRF, Kottarakkara, in the matter of changing of ownership of the service connection having No. 17365, under Electrical Section, Vizhinjam. The gist of the petition is that the appellant’s father Sri. Abdul Rasheed was the registered owner of service connection with consumer no. 17365 provided to building No VP VIII in Thiruvananthapuram Corporation. It is alleged that one Sri. A. Siddique, Parayamvilakam Veedu, Vizhinjam has changed the ownership of the above service connection to his name by producing fake documents before the respondent. Though the appellant had approached the officers of the licensee, against the change of ownership of the service connection, the same was rejected by the respondent. The appellant then filed a petition before the CGRF, Kottarakkara and the same was dismissed the petition due to lack of maintainability. Aggrieved against this, the appellant has filed this appeal before this Authority. In view of the above findings, it can be concluded that present case is only a part of a larger dispute of occupancy/ownership of the said property and building, which is long pending between the appellant and others, which can be decided only through a Civil Court’s ruling. So this Authority didn’t find any reason to intervene in the matter at this stage. The order of CGRF in OP No. 88/2016 dated 09-08-2016 is upheld. No order as to costs. |

| The appellant is a domestic consumer having consumer number 725 under Electrical Section, Chadayamangalam. The appellant has filed the appeal petition, being aggrieved against the inaction of the respondent to shift the overhead line passing through his property for giving service connection to the house of one Smt. Isha Ummal. It is alleged that the above overhead line was drawn long ago through the appellant’s property without obtaining his consent. The appellant submitted a petition on 12-02-2016 to the Additional District Magistrate, Kollam requesting to shift the overhead line from his property. But the Additional District Magistrate issued orders to shift the overhead line, provided the appellant remits the required amount under work deposit. Though the respondent prepared an estimate for shifting the overhead line and intimated the appellant, he was not willing to remit the estimate amount. Meanwhile, the appellant also filed a petition before the CGRF, Kottarakkara vide OP No. 86/2016, upon which the CGRF has ordered (dated 17-08-2016), as; “the respondent shall shift the line within one week from the date of remittance of the required charges and once again inform the petitioner to remit the amount.” Aggrieved against the said order of CGRF, the appellant has filed this appeal before this Authority. Having regard to the fact that the appellant had some grievance against the order of CGRF (South) Kottarakkara in OP No. 86/2016dated 17-08-2016, this Authority perused the documents and heard the arguments of both sides. Since the respondent is willing to carry out the work as per the proposal submitted before Additional District Magistrate and the appellant also agreed to the suggestion, it is decided to settle the issue accordingly. Hence the respondent is hereby directed to prepare the estimate as per Regulation 95 (4)(c) of the Kerala Electricity Supply Code, 2014 and carry out the work within 10 days from the date of remittance of the estimated amount by the appellant. Accordingly it is decided to settle the issue as ordered above. |

| The appellant is a commercial consumer (LT VII A), under Electrical Section, Aranmula, having consumer No. 12108. This service connection was effected on 22-01-2013 with a connected load of 1350 Watts. The appellant enhanced the connected load to 5980 Watts with effect from 18-06-2013 and the service connection was converted from single phase to three phase. On 16-02-2016, the meter reader noticed an abnormal reading in the meter and on detailed checking it is revealed that the consumption recorded for the previous period was only for Zone 1 against the cumulative consumption of 3 Zones. The backup data stored in the memory of energy meter was downloaded and noted that there was a short billing of 18216 units in the regular bimonthly bills already issued. Hence a short assessment bill amounting to Rs. 1,85,606.00 was served on the appellant in order to recover the charges towards the unrecorded consumption. Against this, the appellant had filed a complaint before the CGRF, Kottarakkara, which was disposed of by upholding the short assessment was in order. The Forum also allowed installment facilities for remitting the amount if the appellant requested for. Aggrieved by this order, the appellant preferred this appeal before this Authority. In view of the above discussions, the respondent is hereby directed to issue fresh bill for a period of 24 months allowing 30 days for the remittance. It is also made clear that no interest or surcharge shall be levied for the appeal pending period. Installment, if any, requested by the appellant shall be granted according to Regulation 152 (4) of Supply Code, 2014. The order of CGRF is hereby quashed. No order as to costs. |
