The Appellant is conducting Jewellery business under the name and style of M/s Alukkas Jewellery, Fort Road, City Centre, Kannur and having a CT Connected three phase service connection under LT-VII A Tariff with a connected load of 67005(68kw) watts with Consumer No 1166551007476. The premises of the consumer was inspected on 18.06.2018 by a team of KSEB Limited led by the Anti Power Theft Squad (APTS) of Kannur unit. A site mahazar was prepared by the Sub Engineer Sri. Hari Miniyadan of Electrical Section, Burnassery. An irregularity of metering was detected as the current input in to the meter through CT secondary wire is missing in B Phase. So as to compensate the Board for unrecorded portion of energy, the Assistant Engineer, Electrical Section, Burnassery, issued short assessment bill by directing the appellant to pay Rs 6,99,527/-. Later a final revised short assessment invoice dated 31.07.2018 for Rs. 5,77,790/- was served for a period of 21 months for the period from 01.09.2016 to 01.06.2018. Aggrieved by the short assessment bill, the appellant filed petition before CGRF, Kozhikode requesting to set aside the demand notice and to take action to replace the Energy meter. The Consumer Grievance Redressal Forum disposed the OP No.83/2018-19 filed by the Appellant and ordered on 23-11-2018 that the short assessment is in order. Thereafter on 01/12/2018 the respondent issued a short assessment demand against under charged bills demanding to pay the amount as per short assessment dated 31.07.2018 for Rs 5,77,790/- (Five lakh Seventy Seven Thousand Seven Hundred and Ninety only). Still aggrieved by the said order, the Appellant has filed the Appeal Petition before this Authority. From the findings and conclusions arrived at as detailed above, I decide to set aside the short assessment bill amounting to Rs. 5,77,790/- issued to the appellant. The respondent is directed to revise the bill for the consumption for the period of 12 months prior to the date of installation of the new meter by taking an average consumption of three months after the meter was replaced. Accordingly the respondent shall raise a bill and issue the revised bill to the consumer within fifteen days. Having concluded and decided as above it is ordered accordingly. The Appeal Petition filed by the Consumer is allowed as ordered and stands disposed of as such. The order of CGRF in 83/2018-19 dated 23-11-2018 is set aside. No order on costs. |

The appellant has filed an appeal petition in P/002/2019, being aggrieved at the inaction of KSEBL, Electrical Section, Kovoor to shift the electric pole situated in the existing location to the pathway. The appellant finds difficulty to construct a building in his property. Though the appellant had approached the KSEBL for shifting the posts, they had prepared an estimate for Rs. 8,504/-+ GST and directed to remit the amount for shifting. The appellant is not willing to remit amount and he has filed petition before the CGRF, Kozhikode vide Petition No. OP No. 84/2018-19. The CGRF dismissed the petition vide order dated 13-11-2018. Still aggrieved by the said order, the Appellant has filed the Appeal Petition before this Authority. From the analysis done above and the conclusions arrived at, the appellant’s plea to waive the labour is rejected and this Authority upheld the decision taken by the CGRF in OP No.84/2018-19 dated 13-11-2018. The appeal is found devoid of any merits and hence dismissed. Having concluded and decided as above, it is ordered accordingly. No order on costs. |

The review appellant approached the respondent for shifting an electric pole situated in his property. Since no action was taken in the matter, the appellant approached the CGRF with the request for shifting the pole from his property to the PWD area, which was disposed of by order dated 23-08-2018 as “(1) The respondent shall shift the electric pole situated in the property of the review petitioner to the proposed location under deposit work within the stipulated time. (2) The respondent shall consider the request of the review petitioner to shift the pole within his property, subject to the feasibility, so as to reduce the expenditureâ€. Not satisfied with the decision of CGRF, the review petitioner has filed appeal against the order of CGRF, Kozhikode, before this Authority which was dismissed by upholding the decision of the CGRF, vide order No. P/081/2018 dated17-12-2018 of this Authority. Still aggrieved by the decision, the review appellant has submitted this review petition with a plea to review the orders and to allow the reliefs sought for. The request of the review appellant is to minimize the amount made under Deposit Work by avoiding the insertion of pole in the existing line. As per respondent the insertion of pole cannot be avoided as the line can only be shifted by drawing the line from the pole to be inserted, otherwise there will not be vertical clearance. No glaring mistake or apparent errors on the face of record, on the order dated 17-12--2018 of this Authority, in Appeal Petition No. P/081/2018, were pointed out by the review appellant here. 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. In view of the above discussions, I hold that review petition is not maintainable as this Authority didn’t find any reason to intervene the order already issued. Hence the review petition is dismissed and disposed of accordingly. |
