An electric line was drawn after erecting 5 Nos. of electric posts through the land owned by the appellant, without her consent. Aggrieved by this, the appellant had approached the CGRF, Ernakulam by filing a petition in OP No. 50/2017-18. The Forum allowed the petition and directed the respondent to remove the electric line and posts from the petitioner’s property and to draw the line through the alternate route as suggested by the respondent, without collecting charges from the petitioner vide order dated 20-01-2018. Aggrieved against the non implementation of the order by the respondent, the appellant has submitted this appeal petition before this Authority. As per Regulation 27(6) of KSERC (CGRF & Electricity Ombudsman) Regulations, 2005, non compliance of awards/orders/direction of the CGRF and Ombudsman by Distribution Licensee shall be considered as non-compliance of the Provisions of Electricity Act, 2003 and the Regulations made there under and KSERC shall proceed accordingly.

Having concluded and decided as above, it is ordered accordingly. The CGRF order No. 50/2017-18 dated 20-01-2018 is confirmed. No order on costs. |
