| The commercial service connection (LT VII A) with consumer No. 18490 under Electrical Section, Vellimadukunnu is registered in the name of Sri Abdul Kareem P. P. The appellant, Sri Suresh Babu is the present occupier of the premises, who is running a fruit and vegetable shop in the above premises. The sanctioned connected load of the premises was 1080 Watts. It is alleged that the appellant connected unauthorized additional load to the extent of 6 kW and was issued a provisional bill amounting to Rs. 77,462.00 as per Section 126 of Electricity Act, 2003. Though the registered consumer Sri Abdul Kareem filed objection against the provisional assessment, the respondent revised the assessment and issued a final bill for an amount of Rs. 74,324.00. But the respondent argued that the assessment is made under Section 126 of the Act, the CGRF and Ombudsman is barred from entertaining such complaints in view of Clause 2 (1) (f) (vii) (1) of the KSERC (CGRF and Electricity Ombudsman) Regulations, 2005. In short, the appellant herein is not entitled to file a complaint before CGRF or this Authority against the bill raised under Section 126 of Electricity Act. If he had got strong arguments against the disputed bill, he ought to have raised the same before the Appellate Authority under Section 127 of the Act. Such a course is the only remedy available to him. |
