The appellant is a consumer having consumer number 14290 under the electrical section Perambra North under LT VII A tariff. The dispute relates to an exorbitant bill amounting to Rs. 24715/- issued by the respondent to the appellant for the consumption of 2455 units for two months. Aggrieved by this, the appellant approached the CGRF, Kozhikode with a petition in OP No. 85/2014-15 which was dismissed and allowed to remit the bill amount in ten equal installments, on 23-11-2015. Not satisfied with the above order, the appellant filed this appeal petition before this Authority on 22-04-2015. It is decided to quash the short assessment bill amounting to Rs. 24,715/- and directed to revise the invoice based on the average consumption for the subsequent 3 billing cycles with effect from 24-01-2014. The total amount (Rs. 24,715/- + Rs. 3,409/-) remitted by the appellant may be refunded or adjusted against the future bills. Appeal is allowed. CGRF order set aside. |

The service connection was registered with effect from 28-06-2002 under LT VII A tariff. Pursuant to an application submitted by the appellant by the tariff of the said premises was changed from LT VII A to LT IV with effect from 15-04-2005. On 18-09-2012, the APTS team conducted an inspection in the premises and detected that only quality testing and certification (hallmarking) process was carried out in the units and there was no production of bullion products carried out in the premises. Hence a short assessment bill was issued to him for Rs. 18,99,602/- with effect from 15-04-2005 the date of change of tariff from commercial to industrial. Being aggrieved by the impugned short assessment bill and change of tariff, the review appellant has filed a complaint before the CGRF which held that assessment to be revised under LT VII A tariff within 2 weeks and the amount shall be permitted to be remitted in 15 equal instalments with applicable interest. Aggrieved against the orders, the review appellant filed appeal petition before this Authority which was disposed upholding the decision of CGRF, vide order dated 30-10-2013. Now the review appellant has submitted this review petition with a plea to review based on the direction issued by Hon’ble KSERC in OP No. 13/2012. It is decided to limit the recovery of short assessment under LT VII A tariff from the date of detection of irregularities. The review petition is admitted. |
