The appellant has requested load enhancement and the AE returned the request with direction to submit with ‘completion report through a licensed wiring contractor. The consumer did not take any further action as directed by the AE for next 5 months. Meanwhile, KSEB inspected the premises of the consumer and detected unauthorized additional load. The consumer has remitted the penal bill issued to him in this regard. Thereafter the KSEB announced a Voluntary Disclosure Scheme to regularize the unauthorized load of the consumers of the State. The consumer demands refund of the penalized amount since he had disclosed the additional load earlier and thereby claims the benefit of the Scheme. The petition dismissed as it is found devoid of merits. |

The Review Petitioner is the respondent in Appeal No. P/007/2019. The review respondent/appellant is the Managing Partner of M/s. Mubarak Granite Industries, West Chathalloor, Othayi, Edavanna in Malappuram Dt, was having a low tension three phase industrial service connection with consumer number 18078, under Electrical Section, Edavanna, Malappuram. The appellant has complained that the energy meter in his premises is over reading and requested that the same may be tested at TMR Division. The appellant remitted the fee for testing the meter on 12/7/2011 and the meter was tested on 22/10/2011 at TMR Division, Shornur and the test report revealed that the meter was faulty as it showed abnormal pulses on load. The appellant then represented KSEB to refund the overcharged amount from 11/2009 to 10/2011. The KSEB has prepared a calculation statement that an amount of Rs. 15,74,558/- is to be reimbursed to the appellant, as the amount collected during the meter faulty period was in excess. On 31/12/2013, the supply was dismantled due to the upgradation of the electrical connection to High Tension (HT) and thereafter the cash deposit was refunded in January 2014.In the review petition nothing is pointed out which escaped the notice of this Authority while disposing the appeal petition. The review jurisdiction is limited to rectify a mistake or an error which is apparent on the face of records and it cannot be used as appellate jurisdiction. If the review petitioner is aggrieved by the order of this Authority, it is free for him to challenge that order before the appropriate upper authority. In this background, this Authority didn’t find any reason to intervene the order already issued. In view of the above discussions, I hold that review petition is not maintainable and hence rejected. |

The KSEB has demanded unconnected minimum charges from the consumer for the sanctioned contract demand inspite of the availed contract demand. The appellant remitted the UCM charge as demanded by the KSEB. The consumer requested to consider the date of completion of work as the date of energisation approval from the Electrical Inspector and to refund the UCM amount collected with interest. |
