| The appellant, Administrator of MGM., Muthoot Medical Centre, Pathanamthitta had applied for a HT power connection to the Muthoot Nursing College and Ladies Centre, Pathanamthitta at the precinct of MGM Muthoot Medical Centre for contract demand to an extent of 130 kVA. The appellant remitted Rs.10/- and Rs. 10,000/-, towards application fee and advance amount respectively on 06-12-2012. The appellant had remitted an amount of Rs. 18,89,000/- towards the estimate cost for laying of 380 metre UG cable and constructing 360 metre 11 kV OH line in distribution side and Rs. 15,60,000/- towards the estimate cost for transmission part of the work on 11-12-2013, as demanded by the respondent. After completion of the work, the supply was provided on 13-05-2015. Aggrieved by the collection of Rs. 34,49,000/-, the appellant approached the CGRF, Kottarakkara with a request to refund Rs. 34,49,000/- collected less the reasonable expenses incurred for the tapping arrangements for11 kV electricity from the nearest 11 kV distributing main in front of the premises and the expenses for supervision charges for drawing 11 kV service line cable provided by the appellant, along with interest at twice the bank rate with effect from the date of collection of amount until refund. The CGRF disposed the petition vide Order No. OP 83/2016 dated 30-12-2016, ordering that the respondent shall collect the actual expenses incurred for giving power supply from substation to the DP structure and refund the balance amount if any within two months from the date of receipt of the order. Challenging the decision of the CGRF, the appellant approached this Authority by filing this appeal petition. From the analysis done and the findings and conclusions arrived at, which are detailed above, I observe the following and take the following decisions. 1) The appellant remitted Rs. 18.89 Lakhs for laying 380 metre HT UG cable and constructing 360 metre 11 kV OH line in distribution side and 15.60 Lakhs for erecting 11 kV VCB & new coupler panel and allied works in transmission side for giving 130 kVA power. 2) The estimate was prepared by the respondent and the amount remitted by the appellant before 31-03-2014, during the application period of Supply Code, 2005. 3) The estimate for the distribution work was revised later, after 01-04-2005, and no realization of additional amount was made. 4) There was no revision of estimate in the transmission side. 5) Execution of work both in distribution and transmission were not in accordance with the estimate prepared for the purpose. 6) The actual works executed both in transmission and distribution sector were not evaluated. 7) The applicant has not requested for an exclusive feeder. As the work was executed not in accordance with the original estimate or revised estimate and an exclusive feeder was not constructed from the substation to the premises of the appellant, the evaluation-cum-cost report shall be prepared. The final accounts of each work, for which amount has been collected by KSEB to provide the electric supply to the appellant, may be prepared and the actual cost estimate be arrived at, incorporating the revisions as ordered above by this Forum, within three months of this order and the same shall be communicated appellant. The excess amount if any shall be refunded with interest. The Order No. OP 83/2016 dated 30-12-2016, of CGRF (South), Kottarakkara, stands modified to this extent. Having decided as above, it is ordered accordingly. The Appeal Petition filed by the appellant is disposed of with the said decisions taken and issued. No order as to costs. |
