| The appellant had availed a temporary service connection No: 26490 on 29-12-2010 with a connected load of 1200 watts under VII A tariff for construction purpose. It was revealed in the inspection conducted by the APTS team on 6-1-2015 that the appellant had indulged in unauthorized extension of supply from the above connection for construction of four houses and also detected unauthorized additional load to the tune of 8 kW against the sanctioned connected load of 1200 Watts. Accordingly the appellant was issued with a penal bill for Rs.4,27,050.00 as final bill under Section 126 of Electricity Act, 2003. Aggrieved against this, a complaint was filed before the CGRF, Kozhikode. As the assessment was made under Section 126 of Electricity Act and Forum does not have any jurisdiction on such assessment and the case is not legally maintainable, Forum dismissed the complaint vide order in OP No. 121/2014-15 dated 30-09-2015. Against the above order, the appellant has filed the appeal petition before this Authority. In view of the discussions, the penal bill issued for Rs. 4,27,050.00 for unauthorized extension of supply under Section 126 of Electricity Act, 2003 cannot be justified on the above reasons and Regulation mentioned herein, hence decided to quash the bill. Appellant is directed to take necessary action to regularize the additional load if desires so. The respondent shall continue single point supply till the completion of construction after ensuring safety methods. The petition having found some merits and is admitted. CGRF order in OP No. 121/2014-15 dated 30-09-2015 is set aside. No order as to costs. |
