|
| The appellant, Sri T.P. James had submitted an application dated 14-10-2016 for 4 numbers of service connections to the Assistant Engineer, Electrical Section No. 4, Thrissur Corporation Electricity Department, Thrissur, which was denied to accept the same. Further, the appellant was intimated that as per Supply Code, 2014, electricity to the building can be effected only after installing a transformer at the appellant’s costs since the plinth area of the building is 870 Sq. Metre. Aggrieved against this, the appellant approached the CGRF, Thrissur Corporation Electricity Department, with a petition dated 20-12-2016. Even though hearing on complaint No. CGRF-8517/16 was conducted on 18-01-2017 by CGRF, no order was issued by the Forum even after a lapse of three months after filing the petition. Hence the appellant filed an appeal petition dated 16-03-2017 before this Authority. On receipt of appeal petition, this office has directed the respondent to furnish their remarks vide this office letter dated 16-03-2017. Meanwhile the appellant has informed, vide his letter dated 18-04-2017 that an order dated 29-03-2017 was issued by the CGRF in favour of the appellant and the respondent has taken action to effect service connection. In the above circumstances, the appellant informed that he is not pressing the appeal petition already submitted. Since the grievance of the appellant has already been settled, the appeal petition stands disposed of accordingly. |

| The appellant represents M/s Indus Towers Ltd., a company providing passive infra structure service to telecommunication providers. The consumer number of the appellant’s three phase service connection is 9218 with tariff LT VI F which is coming under the jurisdiction of Electrical Section, Cantonment, Kollam. The appellant is paying the current charges regularly without any dues or delay. But the respondent as per the invoice dated 02-02-2016 directed the appellant to remit an amount of Rs. 1,29,338.00 being the short assessment based on the findings that the meter was faulty during the period from 01-01-2014 to 31-07-2014. Even though an objection against the above demand was filed before the Assistant Engineer, he rejected the same without quoting any valid reason or regulations, instead revised the short assessment to Rs. 73,528.00. So the appellant had approached the Hon’ble CGRF (SR) by filing a petition No. 231/2016. The Forum dismissed the petition and directed to remit the short assessment bill. Aggrieved against this, the appellant has submitted this appeal petition before this Authority. In view of the above findings the revised short assessment as per the order of CGRF for Rs. 73,528 is hereby quashed. The order of CGRF in OP No. 231/2016 dated 30-12-2016 is set aside. Having concluded and decided as above, it is ordered accordingly. No order as to costs. |
