| The appellant in this petition representing as Convenor, Patterikunnu Irrigation Community, Mavoor, having consumer No. 16499 under the jurisdiction of Electrical Section, Mavoor is challenging the demand notice dated 07/01/2015 for Rs. 99,178.00 issued by the respondent. The connection was issued in favour of Secretary, Mavoor Grama Panchayath under LT V, tariff. While so on 21-12-2014, the APTS of KSEB inspected the premises of the appellant and detected that the connection was seen misused for pumping water for domestic purposes. On the basis of inspection, a provisional bill amounting to Rs. 99,178.00 was issued to the registered consumer by the respondent. Later, a final bill dated 07-01-2015 was issued as the appellant had not raised any objection against the provisional bill. Due to non remittance of the bill amount, the service was disconnected on 28-01-2015. Aggrieved by this order, the appellant had filed a petition before the CGRF. On the basis of an interim order of the CGRF, the service was reconnected after depositing an amount of Rs. 24,975.00 by the appellant. The Forum disposed of the petition by allowing 6 monthly instalments for the balance amount to be remitted without surcharge, vide order No. OP No.114/2014-15 dated 21-07-2015. Not satisfied with the above order, the appellant has approached this Authority with this appeal petition seeking reliefs for cancellation of the disputed penal bill and restoration of agricultural tariff. The short assessment made by the respondent in this case is without observing the Regulations in the Supply Code, 2014 and the procedures issued by the licensee. In the absence of a proper site mahazar to substantiate the claim of the respondent there is no justification in issuing such a short assessment. So the assessment is not sustainable before law and hence set aside. Appeal is found having some merits and is admitted. The CGRF order in OP No. 114/2014-15 dated 21-07-2015 is set aside. No order as to costs. |
