| The appellant, Sri Reghupathy is a consumer having consumer No: 1145937018753 under the jurisdiction of Electrical Section, Punalur. This service connection was effected exclusively for industrial purpose (with LT IV tariff) with a connected load of 44544 Watts and Contract Demand of 25 kVA. On 16-10-2015, APTS Kottayam conducted an inspection in the premises of the appellant and found that the supply was being used for filtering and packing and other associated activities using oil brought from outside. Based on the above findings the Assistant Engineer, Electrical Section, Punalur issued a short assessment bill for an amount of Rs.78,884.00, as per Regulation 152 of Kerala Electricity Supply Code, 2014 towards the undercharged amount i.e. the difference in amount between the commercial and industrial tariff. Aggrieved against this, the appellant submitted a complaint before the Honourable CGRF, Kottarakkara and the Forum quashed the bill and directed to revise the assessment for 12 months prior to the date of inspection vide order in OP No. 1628/2015 dated 08-02-2016. Accordingly a revised bill for Rs. 23,870.00 was prepared and issued to the appellant. Still aggrieved against the decision of the CGRF, the appellant submitted this appeal petition on 23-03-2016 before this Authority. In view of the factual position I don’t find any reason to interfere with the findings and decision taken by the CGRF in this case. The respondent is directed to issue revised assessment under LT VII A tariff, for a period for twelve months prior to the date of inspection in the premises. The appeal is found devoid of any merits and hence dismissed. The order of CGRF in OP No. 1628/2015 dated 08-02-2016 is upheld. No order as to costs. |
