| The appellant received the electricity bill dated 10-03-2020 for Rs.82,766/- and remitted following the disconnection notice dated 20-10-2020. Later, the appellant received a demand notice for Rs.28,348/- being the surcharge and hence, approached CGRF, seeking electricity bill for actual consumption or for an average consumption. Not satisfied with the order of the Forum, the appellant filed this appeal petition before this Authority. In this case, the appellant has no dispute in the accuracy of the energy meter and hence, is liable to remit the bill amount for the energy consumption recorded in the meter. The respondent made lapses in taking the meter reading of the premises, applying relevant regulations in Kerala Electricity Supply Code 2014. As per appellant, the energy meter was accessible for taking the meter reading. In this case, the respondent had taken meter readings from 08-11-2019 to 08-01-2022 continuously and hence, the argument of the respondent that the meter was inaccessible for taking meter reading is not sustainable. It is decided to reject the appeal petition filed by the appellant. Since the appellant has no dispute in the accuracy of the meter installed in the premises of the appellant, the appellant is liable to remit the electricity bill amount. The order of CGRF, Southern Region, Kottarakkara in OP No:112/2020 dated 17-04-2021 is upheld. |
