 P/127/2015 The Assistant Secretary Thrissur Corporation,  |
||||||||||||
| The review petitioner is the respondent in the appeal petition in P/127/2015 before this Authority and the review respondent is a registered consumer with consumer no. 8459 C under the electricity distribution licensee, Thrissur Corporation. He was issued with a demand notice dated 06-04-1998 amounting to Rs. 23,00,552.70 towards arrears of electricity charges relating to the period from 10/1994 to 02/1998. The said demand was challenged before the Hon’ble High Court of Kerala by the review respondent in various Petitions and Writ Appeals viz. OP (C) No. 9332/1998, OP No. 19756/1998, Writ Appeal No. 51/2009, W.P. (C) 25010/2012 and W.P. (C) No. 7129/2015. The Hon'ble High Court of Kerala, in W.P (C) 7129/2015, directed the review respondent to approach the Consumer Grievance Redressal Forum for redressal of his grievance. Accordingly the review respondent filed a petition before the CGRF which was disposed by ordering therein that the review respondent is entitled only for One Time Settlement and that he has to pay penal interest at the rate of 6%. Based on the order, a demand notice was issued by the review petitioner for an amount of Rs. 6,58,447.00 as penal interest. Against the above order of the Forum, the review respondent filed this appeal before this Authority. Since the appeal petition filed is found having some merits, an order was issued by this Authority and allowed the appeal by quashing the order of CGRF, vide order No. P/127/2015 dated 29-12-2015. Against the above order, the review petitioner has approached this Authority with a plea to review the decision taken on the appeal petition. In the review petition nothing is pointed out which escaped the notice of this Authority while disposing the appeal petition. The review jurisdiction is limited to rectify a mistake or an error which is apparent on the face of records and it cannot be used as appellate jurisdiction. In view of the above discussions I hold that the review petition is found devoid of merits and not maintainable, hence rejected. |
