The appellant is a telecom service provider and an applicant under the jurisdiction of Electrical Section, Pookottttumpadam, for a new service connection to the mobile tower constructed on the land leased from the owner of the property.

Aggrieved by this, the appellant had approached the CGRF (NR) by filing a petition in OP No. 94/2018-19 and the Forum dismissed the petition by upholding the decision of the respondent, vide order dated 30-11-2018.
