The appellant has been paying electricity charge comprising of demand charge for 75% of Contract Demand or maximum demand recorded, whichever is higher in each month and the monthly energy charge. The appellant received an arrear bill in December 2020 for Rs.8,22,974/-. The appellant approached the CGRF, Northern Region with a petition requesting (1) Rebate as per Board Order may be allowed in the fixed charge (Demand Charge) for the months of April, May and June 2020. (2) Demand Charge may be reduced to 75% in all months where billing demand did not exceed 75% of Contract Demand (3) 24 interest free installments may be allowed to remit the arrears up to December 2020. The Forum issued order on 20-02-2021 as follows: - “(a) The relief sought in petition vide (1) and (2) are found devoid of any merits to consider and hence, dismissed (b) The relief noted in item (3) shall be allowed as a special case. The respondent shall collect the arrear amount in 15 equal installments and the installment shall carry interest as per Regulation 131 (2) of Kerala Electricity Supply Code 2014. The appellant need not pay interest for the bill amount for the petition pending period before the Forum.” The appellant filed this appeal petition before this Authority. In the hearing, the respondent confirmed that a review petition in OP No.114/2020-21 filed by the respondent is pending before CGRF, Northern Region and hence the appeal petition P-023/2021 filed by the appellant before this Authority is dismissed.
