The appellant is a consumer having a three phase connection with consumer no. 13991 under Electrical Section, Mathilakam under VII A tariff. On 01-08-2014, the APTS team of KSEB conducted an inspection in the premises of the appellant and it was found that one phase of the metering equipment was missing due to the internal damage of the meter.

The appellant Sri A.N. Sethumadhavan was already granted service connection with consumer no. 20155 under LT V tariff by the Assistant Engineer, Electrical Section, Sultanpet. The appellant had remitted an amount of Rs. 400/- as security deposit on 09-03-2010. It is alleged that the appellant is eligible for getting the agriculture service connection at free of cost as per the prevailing rules. But the respondent has not effected service connection due to difficulty in constructing the overhead line since the area surrounding the proposed service connection was water logged. Since the respondent has not turned up to issue the pending service connection, the appellant submitted a request on 13-01-2012 for the same. On 02-03-13, the appellant was informed that the service connection could be effected only after remitting the estimated cost of work as per the revised guidelines for effecting service connection. Aggrieved by this, the appellant approached the CGRF, Kozhikode with a petition in OP No. 98/2014-15 which was disposed on 05-08-2013 directing the respondent to effect service connection after collecting the OYEC charges from the appellant. Not satisfied with the above order, the appellant filed this appeal petition before this Authority on 09-12-14. Since the appellant is a registered consumer as on 09-03-2010, he is eligible for getting service connection at free of cost as per the prevailing rules. Hence it is decided to refund the amount of Rs. 13,250.00 along with interest at any rate within 30 days from the date of receipt of this order. Appeal is admitted. CGRF order is set aside. |

Aggrieved by this, the appellant approached the CGRF, Kottarakkara with a petition in OP No.1293/2014 which was dismissed due to lack of merit and evidences, vide order dated 29-01-2015. Not satisfied with the above order, the appellant filed this appeal petition before this Authority on 02-03-2015.
