The appellant is an LT industrial consumer bearing No. 11155 under Electrical Section, Kanjiramkuzhy. She is running a pitch mill unit with an installed connected load of 8000 watts. While so, on 16-06-2016 the appellant was served with a short assessment bill for Rs. 8696/‐ stating that the bill raised during the period of 10/2014 to 01/2015 was less than the actual due amount, on the basis of an audit inspection report of KSEB. The consumer was again issued a revised bill dated 12-07-2016 for Rs. 11,865/-. Again the respondent issued another bill dated 09-08-2016 for Rs.11604/- including arrear amount of 8567/-. The consumer filed Petition before the CGRF, Kottarakkara, which was disposed of by order dated 28-12-2016, by quashing the bill dated 09-08-2016 for Rs.3037/- and by upholding the bill dated 16-06-2016. Aggrieved by the decision of CGRF and the bill, the consumer filed this appeal petition before this Authority. From the analysis done above, I take the following decision. From the meter reading details furnished by the KSEB, I notice that the respondent had recorded the status of meter from 09/2014 to 12/2014 is working and is seen as good. No checking of the meter was conducted by the respondent during that period. It was not confirmed by the licensee whether the meter was faulty/damaged or not. The quantum of energy as the average energy used by the consumer for the disputed period as 400 units was revised by KSEB on a later date. As such, the disputed bill dated 16-06-2016 for Rs.8696/- is hereby quashed. Having concluded and decided as above, it is ordered accordingly. The appeal petition filed by the consumer is found having merits and is allowed. The related CGRF’s order vide, OP No. 158/2016 dated 28-12-2016, of the CGRF, Kottarakkara, is modified to this extent. No order on costs.
