| The APTS of KSEBL conducted inspection in the premises of the appellant and detected that the Multiplication Factor (M.F.) used for arriving at the actual consumption was ‘20’ instead of ‘40’. In order to compensate the revenue loss sustained to the Licensees, a short assessment bill amounting to Rs.4,40,272/- was issued to the appellant and the appellant remitted Rs.30,000/-. The appellant approached CGRF, Southern Region, with a petition for the exemption from remitting the balance amount and of the amount already remitted and the Forum issued order as follows: (1) The respondent is directed to revise the short assessment bill of Rs.4,40,272/- dated 06-01-2021 by limiting a period of twenty-four months and to allow 12 monthly instalments to the petitioner without interest for the remittance of the amount, if the petitioner desires. (2) The respondent is also directed to arrange proper inspection in the premises of all the consumers having meters connected with CT/PT units and ensure the correctness of the multiplication factor, CT connection etc. The appellant filed this instant appeal petition before this Authority. A writ petition is filed by the respondent for KSEB Ltd. before the Hon’ble High Court of Kerala vide WP (C) No.26255 of 2021 against the order dated 02-09-2021 issued by Consumer Grievance Redressal Forum, Southern Region in OP No. 38/2021 and hence, the request of the appellant for the exemption from remitting the short-assessment bill is subject to the judgement of the Hon’ble High Court of Kerala in the said writ petition. The appeal petition filed by the appellant is disposed of accordingly. |
