| The appellant, Sri Eldho Elias, constructed a building in the name and style, “Elias Square” under the jurisdiction of Electrical Section, Palarivattom. The appellant has applied for HT supply of power requirement of 250 kVA for commercial purpose on 07-12-2012. In order to effect the supply from 110 kV Substation, Kaloor, additional 10 MVA transformer is to be erected. So, the respondent has demanded a sum of Rs. 3,37,500.00 on per kVA basis @ Rs. 1,350.00/kVA as pro-rata transmission side development charges from the appellant. Against this demand, the appellant had filed WP (C) 6344/2013 and the Hon’ble High Court in its interim order directed the licensee to effect service connection without collecting pro-rata transmission development charges and it was also directed the appellant to approach the CGRF and dispose of the Writ Petition accordingly. Therefore, the appellant filed a petition before the CGRF which was disposed of vide Order No. 80/2016-17 dated 21-12-2016, with a finding that the demand raised by the respondent is correct and the appellant is bound to pay the same. Challenging the decision of the CGRF, the appellant approached this Authority by filing this appeal petition. In view of the above discussions the respondent is hereby directed to prepare a revised demand on the estimate cost of work for the capacity enhancement necessitated for giving supply to the appellant at any rate within a period of 30 days from the date of receipt of this order and the appellant shall remit the same within one month, failing which the licensee shall be entitled to recover the same. Excess remittances if any made by the appellant shall be refunded by adjustment in the monthly current charges/direct refund within a period of 3 months. The appeal filed by the appellant is admitted to the extent as ordered above. Having concluded and decided as above it is ordered accordingly. The order No. CGRF-CR/Comp. 80/2016-17 dated 21-12-2016 is set aside. No order as to costs. |
