| The appellant is a domestic consumer with service connection No. 21922 under Electrical Section, Karaparamba. The energy meter in the premises of the appellant was alleged to be not working properly, resulting the appellant was served bills dated 16‐01‐2014 and 19-08-2014 for Rs. 18,146.00 for 2254 units and for Rs. 15,761.00 for 2039 units respectively. The appellant had filed a representation on 25-06-2014 requesting to revise the said bills in accordance with the previous consumption. On receipt of the bi-monthly bill dated 19-08-2014 for Rs. 15,761.00 the appellant approached Hon’ble High Court in W.P. (C) 22851 of 2014 which was disposed of by permitting the appellant to approach the Assistant Engineer, Electrical Section, Karaparamba to seek reliefs. After conducting a hearing, the appellant was directed to remit the bill amount and disposed the petition accordingly by the Assistant Engineer, Electrical Section, Karaparamba. Consequent to this, a complaint was made before the CGRF, Kozhikode. The Forum has disposed of the complaint vide order No.79/2014-15 dated 29-07-2015, with a direction as detailed below: 1. “The petitioner shall remit the balance amount outstanding against the bill dated 16-06-2014 amounting to Rs. 18,146.00 2. The bill dated 18-08-2014 for Rs. 15,761.00 is set aside. 3. The respondent shall issue fresh bill for the month of 8/2014 (in place of bill for Rs. 15,761.00) on the basis of the average consumption for the subsequent six months after the replacement of the meter”. Aggrieved by the said order, the appellant has filed this appeal petition, before this Authority. The respondent charged the appellant without analyzing or finding out the reasons for the excess consumption hence the bill issued for Rs. 18,146.00 is quashed. Appeal is admitted. CGRF order in OP No. 79/2014-15 dated 29-07-2015 is set aside. No order as to costs. |
