The consumer number of the appellant’s three phase service connection is 12001 having 34.300 kW connected load under LT VI F tariff and is under the jurisdiction of Electrical Section, Vadakkanchery. The appellant is paying the current charges regularly without any due or delay. But the respondent as per the invoice dated directed the appellant to remit an amount of Rs. 87,350.00 being the short assessment based on the findings that the meter was sluggish during the period from 09/2014 to 04/2015. An objection against the demand was filed before the Assistant Engineer but he did not allow the petition and rejected without quoting any valid reason or regulations. So the appellant had approached the Hon’ble CGRF (NR) by filing a petition in OP No. 65/2016-17. The Forum vide order dated 09-09-2016 directed the respondent to re-assess the short assessment based on the average of 3 billing cycles after the replacement of meter and to issue a fresh bill based on the above only for a period of 2 billing cycles. Based on the above order, the bill of Rs. 87,350.00 was revised to Rs. 22,037.00. Aggrieved against this, the appellant has submitted this appeal petition before this Authority. In view of the above findings the revised short assessment as per the order of CGRF for Rs. 22,037.00 is hereby quashed. The order of CGRF in OP No. 65/2016-17 dated 09-09-2016 is set aside.
