| The appellant is a commercial consumer (LT VII A), under Electrical Section, Aranmula, having consumer No. 12108. This service connection was effected on 22-01-2013 with a connected load of 1350 Watts. The appellant enhanced the connected load to 5980 Watts with effect from 18-06-2013 and the service connection was converted from single phase to three phase. On 16-02-2016, the meter reader noticed an abnormal reading in the meter and on detailed checking it is revealed that the consumption recorded for the previous period was only for Zone 1 against the cumulative consumption of 3 Zones. The backup data stored in the memory of energy meter was downloaded and noted that there was a short billing of 18216 units in the regular bimonthly bills already issued. Hence a short assessment bill amounting to Rs. 1,85,606.00 was served on the appellant in order to recover the charges towards the unrecorded consumption. Against this, the appellant had filed a complaint before the CGRF, Kottarakkara, which was disposed of by upholding the short assessment was in order. The Forum also allowed installment facilities for remitting the amount if the appellant requested for. Aggrieved by this order, the appellant preferred this appeal before this Authority. In view of the above discussions, the respondent is hereby directed to issue fresh bill for a period of 24 months allowing 30 days for the remittance. It is also made clear that no interest or surcharge shall be levied for the appeal pending period. Installment, if any, requested by the appellant shall be granted according to Regulation 152 (4) of Supply Code, 2014. The order of CGRF is hereby quashed. No order as to costs. |
