The appellant, Sri P.V. Mathew, is a consumer under Electrical Section, Thrikodithanam. The appellant’s case is against the non removal of electric line drawn through his property for providing service connection to three houses. It is alleged that the line was drawn through his property without his knowledge and consent. Against the above action on the part of respondent, the appellant approached the Hon’ble Commission which was disposed of with a direction to file a petition before CGRF. Accordingly, the appellant filed a petition before the CGRF, Kottarakkara and the Forum is of the opinion that further interruption is not required until the disposal of OP filed by the appellant in the Munsiff Court, Changanacherry and the Forum dismissed the petition vide order in OP No. 160/2016 dated 19-10-2016. Feeling aggrieved against the order of CGRF, the appellant has filed the appeal petition before this Authority.

The appellant, Smt. Reetha A.V., is a consumer under Electrical Section, Pottammal, in Kozhikode District. The appellant’s case is against the inaction on the part of respondent to disconnect the underground cable drawn through her plot without consent. The cable was provided by the nearby consumers namely Sri Yugesh and Smt. Nisha having consumer numbers 5417 and 16630 respectively for pumping water for their own use from the well situated in the appellant’s plot. It is also alleged that due to the drawing of cable through her property, the appellant finds difficulty to dispose of her property. Though the appellant had approached the respondent for removing the cable drawn through her property, the respondent had not taken any action. So, the appellant filed petition before higher authorities of the licensee, but they also failed to take any action. Hence the appellant filed a petition before the CGRF, Kozhikode. But the Forum dismissed the petition vide order in OP No. 108/2016‐17 dated 09-02-2016 directing the respondents to ensure safety aspects and the appellant to approach competent Forum for redressing the grievance. Feeling aggrieved by the order of the Forum, the appellant has filed this appeal petition, before this Authority. The crux of the matter is that the dispute is between close relatives regarding the right to take water from the well. In this factual background, if at all the appellant has any grievance with respect to the sharing of water from common well using electricity for pumping water that can be resolved by resorting to appropriate civil remedies if they are advised so. This Authority is not empowered with jurisdiction to take any decision with respect to the relief sought for by the appellant in the appeal. In view of the above discussions, the appeal petition is dismissed as devoid of any merits. The order of CGRF in OP No 108/2016-17 dated 09-12-2016 is upheld. No order as to costs. |
