| An electric pole carrying a Low Tension (LT) 4 wire overhead line got damaged following the falling of a line branch from the property of the appellant. The appellant remitted Rs.4,433/- towards material cost and Rs.4,500/- towards the labour charge paid to the contractor who carried out the works. The appellant approached the Licensee for the refund of the amount, but no action was taken and hence, filed a petition before CGRF, Central Region and the Forum rejected the request of the appellant. The appellant filed this appeal petition before this Authority. The appellant had to intimate the Licensee about the cutting and removing of branches of the tree for taking safety precautions by the Licensee. At the same time, Licensee had to maintain the Low-Tension line properly and to strengthen the weak points in the distribution network. As such, the respondent shall bear the material cost and the appellant shall bear the labour charge. The respondent is directed to refund the material cost remitted by the appellant within 30 days from the date of order. The order of CGRF, Central Region in OP No.15/2021-22 dated 01-09-2021 is set aside. The appeal petition filed by the appellant is allowed to this extent. |
