P/035/2017 Sri. Arun R Chandran, Ernakulam
The appellant represents M/s Indus Towers Ltd., a company providing passive infra structure service to telecommunication providers. The consumer number of the three phase service connection is 17654 under LT VI F tariff and is under the jurisdiction of Electrical Section, Kundara. The appellant is paying the current charges regularly without any due or delay. But the respondent as per the invoice dated 27-07-2016 directed the appellant to remit an amount of Rs. 94,200/- being the short assessment based on the findings that the meter was faulty during the period from 08/2012 to 06/2013. An objection against the demand was filed before the Assistant Engineer on 16-08-2016. He rejected the petition without quoting any valid reason or regulations, and suggested to approach the concerned Forum or Authority after remitting half of the amount assessed or to remit the amount vide letter dated 23-09-2016. So the appellant had approached the Hon’ble CGRF (SR) by filing a petition in OP No. 251/2016. The Forum quashed the impugned bill and directed the respondent to issue the split up bills for the door locked period of 11/2012 and 12/2012 and for the meter faulty period for 03/2013 and 04/2013. Aggrieved against this, the appellant has submitted this appeal petition before this Authority. In view of the above discussions, the issuance of revised short assessment for an amount of Rs. 46,790/- is not sustainable and hence it is hereby quashed. The order of CGRF in OP No. 251/2016 dated 06-03-2017 is set aside. Having concluded and decided as above, it is ordered accordingly. No order as to costs.
