| The service connection with consumer No. 12143, under Electrical Section, Mallappally stands in the name of Sri Raju M. Varkey, the appellant, with a connected load of 10296 Watts under domestic tariff. A short assessment bill for Rs. 9,901.00 was issued to the appellant, reassessing him, for the meter faulty period from 7/2015 to 9/2015 based on an audit report of Regional Audit Officer. Aggrieved against the impugned bill, the appellant filed a complaint before the CGRF, Kottarakkara on 28-03-2016. But the Forum in its order in OP No. 42/2016 dated 30-05-2016 dismissed the petition since the bill issued by the respondent was found in order. Not satisfied with the decision of CGRF, the appellant has submitted this appeal petition before this Authority. In view of the above discussions, there is no justification for issuing a revised bill to the appellant even without conducting any testing of the energy meter. Hence the impugned bill is hereby quashed. The respondent is directed to issue revised bill for the period from 07/2015 to 09/2015 at any rate within 30 days from the date of receipt of this order based on average consumption for the 3 billing cycles after the meter is replaced and the excess amount, if any, shall be adjusted in the future bills. The appeal petition is allowed. The order of CGRF is set aside. No order as to costs. |
